AxisCamera 206 not running
 

Hello guys,

we are having big trouble getting the camera running.

What we did:
We plugged in the Camera everywhere.
We made the Setup of the Camera (Setup Axis Camera)
We started the dashboard on the Drivers mode.
We included the AxisCamera &camera = AxisCamera::GetInstance();
we also tried just AxisCamera::GetInstance();

But nothing is working.

Any ideas?

are you using crossover cable? from the cRIO to the camera?

You have two options with the camera.

1) If you want to use it for vision only, you can connect it directly to your radio, in which case you have to play around with the camera's IP address.

2) If you want to use image processing, you have to connect the Axis Camera to the cRIO, keeping Axis Camera's IP setting in factory settings. You should connect the camera to port 2 of the cRIO ( USING A CROSS OVER CABLE) and not touch the camera's IP settings. Do the following:

a) Turn the Camera off, press the reset button (control button) and keeping holding it. Turn the camera on, wait until the ring around the camera turns to reddish/orange color. Let go of the control button and ta daaaa... you are back to factory settings. ( Do this if you changed camera's IP configuration)

b) Now, follow the instruction in this PDF

Use "FRC" as username
Use "FRC" as a password

That is the configuration that worked for me.

then, use this to check if you have vision.

AxisCamera &camera = AxisCamera::GetInstance();
