LabVIEW 8.5 Problems FRC version

[Lucario1138]

HI

I am with team 910 and i have been trying to get some sort of program working on the axis camera that came with the control system.

When ever i run that program i created errors out of nowhere but the camera works for a while then freezes.

I have looked at the program that NI gives with the LabVIEW and i created something along the lines of the same vision program and i get problems.

When i went to a local LabVIEW demonstration at Baker College in Flint Michigan earlier this year, we used LabVIEW 8.6 which never crashed and had more features that 8.5.

I am wondering what is going on with this and why we are not useing LabVIEW 8.6

thanks in advance

Hi Lucario,

What are the errors that you are getting (Error #, Description)?

Did you configure the camera by using the Axis camera setup tool?

Are you running your program with the camera connected to the cRIO or directly to the computer?

Have you followed the Acquiring Video tutorial?

Does the camera work when you enable the default vision code in the basic cRIO robot project? If not, are the errors the same as you were getting with your program?

The above questions should help you out with troubleshooting. Please post back with the results and we can go from there in working on your problem.

Best Regards,

Also, as to LV 8.5 being used instead of LV 8.6, LV FRC and LV 8.6 development schedules were such that it was not feasible to base LV FRC on 8.6. In future years, I would expect LabVIEW FRC to be released using the most recent version of LV possible given all the variables that go into making such a decision.

sorry for the late response. When I posted this message I figured it out and never checked back.

I was wondering if you can also answer another question. I have posted it as another discussion.
