We are using LabVIEW and an Axis M1011-W camera to try to get our vision system to work. I made a fresh roboRIO prjoect on LabVIEW, set up the camera using the 2014 Axis Camera Setup tool from FIRST, and deployed my project.
When we switched our camera mode to IP camera, our dashboard lagged behind terribly (As in, when we pushed a joystick, we would get the robot’s report on the joystick about every 5 seconds). We got this error on the dashboard:
ERROR -1074360311 occurred at IMAQdx Open Camera.vi
NI-IMAQdx: (Hex 0xBFF69009) Camera not found
What can we do to set up our robot’s camera? We also recently ordered a new Axis M1013 camera, would that camera possibly work better?
Use the 2015 axis imaging tool for configuring the camera, I think it’s under utilities. The system has us moving to mDNS from hard coded IP addresses. I suspect the dashboard couldn’t find the axis camera on the network and caused the lag you noticed.
If that doesn’t work, you can modify the dashboard code to use the camera IP address but you lose some of the benefit the mDNS is supposed to give us.
We had the exact same problem with ours. I’m not sure what you’ve done but first make sure that the camera is set to the ip camera in the vision vi because its default is set to usb. It should just be a small true/false constant. If you already did that make sure the camera’s name was exactly the same as how it was defined in the vision vi. We were on the web config page for the camera to find what the camera thought its name was. Our camera said its name was axis-camera-3883.local when in the vision vi it was axis-camera.local. Once we took out the team number it worked. You could also just add your team number to the camera name in vision processing. Hope this helps
