Unable to add Camera module to designer within VS 2010

@ wmdigital -

When I added a camera with the designer, all the necessary references were added aromatically. You should not have to do anything
manually.

Create a new solution/project and document all the steps you use. The new solution/project should only contains a Spider mainboard and camera.

Do not use an old solution/project.

What kind of stink did that create? :wink:

23

That was not my fault! I blame it on Gus’s spel checker.

24

Yeah blame it on me :slight_smile:

25

If only I could get this going, I’d settle for aromatic as a solution :slight_smile:

My steps were:

  1. Open VS2010
  2. Create new ,NET Gadgeteer Application (NETMF 4.2)
  3. Delete Hydra from designer (it auto-adds it for me regardless of my having my Hydra connected or not)
  4. Drag out Spider into designer (observe References added for FEZSpider )
  5. Drag out Camera into designer
  6. Error: A required library could not be found (clicked 4 times before it would go away, which meant one or more files weren’t found)

@ wmdigital -

your procedure looks correct.

What do you see within the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\GHI Electronics\GHI .NET Gadgeteer SDK\Modules\Camera\NETMF 4.2”

27

Looks kind of like this:

GadgeteerHardware.xml

/NETMF 4.1
– GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.dll
– GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pdb
– GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.xml
– /be
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.dll
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pdb
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pdbx
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pe
– /le
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.dll
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pdb
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pdbx
– / – GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.pe

/NETMF 4.2
– GTM.GHIElectronics.Camera.dll

Weird…

At this point, I would uninstall VS Studio, MF SDKand GHI SDK and reload in the following order:

VS2010 -> VS2010 SP1 -> MF SDK ->GHI SDK

29

Maybe just pull the SDK’s and re-install them. Pulling VS should be an absolute last resort.

The original poster has already re-installed the SDKs several times. Problem dictates a VS re-install.

Just wanted to close the loop on this and say that after several re-installs of Visual Studio and the SDK (in the order @ Mike suggested) has me now able to put a Spider board and a Camera module into the designer with no more errors.

Thanks again, @ Mike.
