Labview Target Info Broken Wire in Vision Processing

[rivasm]

Vision processing to get the camera to detect the reflective tape and the distance from the camera has proven to be a difficult task. We have continued getting errors from the vision processing in the diagnostics of our driver station, and cannot seem to communicate distance whatsoever. I have found in several threads to copy and paste the example rectangular target processing code into the vision processing vi. Attempting that, we got one particular error, which is attached in the first attachment. Any help with this is very very appreciated, especially if there are screenshots

The issue is that your code is trying to write to a global variable called Target Info, but no variable has been declared. The tutorial that goes with the example code actually recommends that you use Save As with Dependencies. That will overwrite the Vision Processing VI in a manner similar to your edit, AND it will overwrite the Robot Global, adding the Target Info declaration. You can also do this by hand by opening the Robot Global in both projects and adding the control from the example to the file in your robot project.

Oh, wow, that's a pretty simple solution. There's a tutorial? Any links you can give me, perhaps?

The launch screen or View>>Getting Started Windows has four tabs, one is Tutorials, #8 is about vision.
