cannot connect myRIO to USB camera

[Petergeng28]

Hi,

I'm having issues of connecting a USB camera to wireless myRIO.

 

In MAX is shows that I have IMAQ installed, but in the myRIO, RoosterTeeth, the IMAQdx is not there. 

I've installed the Vision Acquisition Software twice and the IMAQdx for myRIO is still not there. 

I'm able to control the myRIO wirelessly over wifi. I can control LEDs no problem, but the myRIO can't detect the USB camera.

In a blank VI, i've tried to used the Vision Acquisition Express block, but it doesn't detect the web cam either. When I tried the same on the host computer VI, it detected the camera no problem.

See above picture that there are no cameras detected on the left column. 

What should I do? Which software should I install?

I am on Windows 10, installed LabVIEW 2015 32-bit version. I have LabVIEW RT, FPGA, VAS, myRIO Toolkit installed. See MAX picture.

Thanks!

Hello Petergeng28,

Indeed, your camera should work when run on the myRIO. Interfacing with the myRIO via a WI-FI connection should not be any different that connecting to it via USB. However, as a quick troubleshooting step, could you connect the myRIO to your computer directly using the USB cable and verify if the camera is recognized or not?

You mentioned that you do not have IMAQdx installed on your myRIO. If your computer has VAS 15.0 installed, you should be able to add the IMAQdx driver to the myRIO.

Can you verify if you selected to install the three options under the Vision Features Section?
