Getting Live Axis cam feed

Hello!

We are having a really tough time getting the vi’s in LV to give us a live camera feed on the front panel…

I was wondering if someone can post there VI or just explain how you did it?

Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks!

The default LabView FRC template already feature a VI with the feed displayed live. I know Advanced has it, not too sure about Basic. You shouldn’t really have to have a camera feed elsewhere, just passing around the data rather than the feed.

the default camera code that is in the robot main VI doesn’t get a live image on the front panel…

We would like to be able to have a updated “live” image on the computer…

I believe there are instructions somewhere for doing this.
If I remember right, you simply place an image indicator onto the front panel, then wire to the image output.

However, our team uses the default dashboard project (on the getting started screen, select FRC Dashboard project instead of robot/cRIO project). This has, amongst other useful displays, a live video feed. After your code is downloaded to the cRIO, open up the dashboard, and hit run.

I’ll give this a try tomorrow at the shop

Thanks!

Yes, what you can do is Run the cRIO Robot Project (by just hitting the run button on Robot Main.vi) or download the project to the FLASH memory.

In the first case, you will need to open a parallel Dashboard running, which has a image control which will display the camera’s feed. In the seconed, you don’t need the cRIO Robot Project open, since the code is “stamped” on the robot’s memory.

Your laptop’s ip must be set to 10.xx.yy.6. The program running on the crio sends camera data to that ip only.

DID you try this yet? did it work for you?

I have tried loading our robot code then running the default dashboard and none of the dashboard indicators give any feedback at all.

Do you have to change any settings in the dashboard file or should it just run automatically?

Thanks!
