We’re running the default dashboard and want to get a camera displayed there for driver assistance. But nothing is showing up no matter what we do. From what I read, it’s supposed to be plug and play.
Last year we messed around with vision tracking and didn’t have any issues getting it to connect and display on the dashboard. So here are the circumstances:
The camera works when plugged into a computer.
We program with LabVIEW.
We’re using the default dashboard.
The “vision processing” VI has been removed from robot main to save processing power.
We tried the camera with a brand new LabVIEW project with the vision processing code left the way it was by default (so I’m not sure if we need that or not).
The camera shows up in the roborio web interface. It’s name is “cam0”.
WPILib’s instructions say I need to switch something on the dashboard to “USB camera HW” (or something like that). I remember having this option last year but there is no drop down or right-click menus to select anything.
There are two identical text boxes with drop downs at the bottom of the dashboard, but they are empty.
Is anyone else having this problem? I could use some help.
The fact that it’s plug and play makes it very difficult to troubleshoot. There is almost no documentation for the default dashboard and nearly everyone else seems to be using the smart dashboard.
