Camera Display

[pninn]

Hey I'm on a rookie team this year and so we have tended to encounter many problems, the current one that I have deals with the camera.

So I have set up the camera with the static IP 192.168.0.90 and the FRC username and have plugged into port 2 of the cRIO with a crossover cable and reset the cRIO. Still I Have Image on my dashboard, is there any magic I need to preform in the code to make it work or what.

Thanks

We had the same problem. The solution is as follows:

• Create the FRC Dashboard Project in LabVIEW
• Go to Build Specifications and right-click on FRC PC Dashboard. Select Properties.
• In the Properties dialog change the Target Filename from FRC Dashboard.exe to Dashboard.exe. Click on OK.
  
• Right-click on FRC PC Dashboard and select Build.
• Once the build is finished right-click on FRC PC Dashboard and select Explore. This will show you the built executable in Windows Explorer.
• Copy the three files (Dashboard.exe, Dashboard.aliases, Dashboard.ini) to C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard on the Driver Station Classmate PC.
• Once you run the driverstation program as Driver you should now receive the camera picture.

Please note that you will only receive the picture if you have code running on the cRIO that is built upon the FRC cRIO Robot Project.

Hope that solves your problem. It solved ours.

Hello Thanks for the advice however I am still not able to get an Image, it says Timeout in camera Communications, I am also not able to access the camera's webpage (http://192.68.0.90) which I am able to do so when it is connected directly to the router.

Actually nevermind, I figured it out, apparently I didn't follow your instructions correctly the first time I tried it.
