intel pro pc camera (usb) used in labview

[JertoZ]

Hi, I've bought an in pro pc camera (usb) and I want to be able to use it in LabVIEW. I've read a lot about using active x and library, but I still don't really understand of how it works. Ive also tried the vi written by INVENTering and it always say that "the object could not be load". I need to use it quickly, and it will be used to detect if leds work or not on a machine (in production). So if any of you have ideas, I thank you in advance. If you need more information on my system, please communicate with me.
Here's a list of the library that I have for my camera.

Julien,

Pete Parente created an open source (Berkeley modified license) LabVIEW library that can perform image captures from a standard USB webcam. A number of other tools for converting the images to and from the IMAQ format for image processing are also included.

The library can be found at http://www.mindofpete.org in the Ideas section.

In order to use an activeX control, it has to be loaded and registered on your computer. Most installers do this for you automatically. I suspect what you are seeing is that the VI was written for a different version of the control that what you have on your computer. You can reinsert the activeX control by right clicking on the activeX control >> insert activeX object. This will then list all the activeX controls registered on your computer. Scan through the list untill you find something that indicates the control you want to use. You may have to try this several times before you find the control you wanted.
