Two Cams

So my team was wondering if there was a way to support two cameras on a robot with labview by either having them both on and giving video feedback at the same time or having them toggleable? Any help would be appreciated.

The default dashboard supports two cameras.

In your code, open two cameras and store their refnums with unique names such as front and rear.

Once the code is running, the dashboard selectors should show the camera names, and you can decide which shown on the right and which on the left display.

To do a toggle via the controller, make a custom dashboard. The code has a loop and some code to display the image based on the name coming from the selector. You can then use a controller button or other input to choose between names. Note that it takes a few seconds for the camera server to connect.

It is possible to use the Raspberry PI and there is another string here on Chief Delphi about using Raspberry PI. Do a search for Raspberry PI to read it.
