Hi David,
Recently I am working on pixy and try to connect it with LabVIEW.
And right now I cannot open the example.vi on my PC since it requires a vi library called Rock Robotics. Is that exactly the Robotic Construction Kit to install?
Besides, in the example.vi, does it read the original image from the camera or it just send the target location to the VI?
Further, can I use PC as my controller to process the image captured by the camera?
Thanks so much.
Nick

Over SPI, the PixyCam does not expose the raw image, only targets found. In theory, the image should be available over USB, but I haven't written anything to read that. Once the camera is configured, all processing should be performed by the camera and the VIs in this library would read the target information into your robot code.
I'm not sure about the dependency library you mentioned. I used LabVIEW 2016 with the FRC update to write and run the software. I'll see where that library came from and let you know

@ljh200703 The "Rock Robotics" VI issue seems like it may be a problem with your LabVIEW installation. See NI forum thread for more information.

Are you able to open other LabVIEW robot projects like 2017 robot code?

Thanks so much for your reply! I will try to install some robotics library to see if it works. I am working on a project about stereo vision in robotic arm. I'll let you know if I solve the problem.
