Re: Multiple Axis Cams?

My question is: "Is it legal to connect one or more cameras to the D-Link in order for the robot to do image processing from 2 cameras ((either symultaniously (for stereo vision) or independantly (for line/target tracking)"

It's clear that the camera is normally plugged into the cRIO port 2, but is it legal to plug another one into the D-LINK?

I think the cRIO code should be able to access either one (just with different IP addresses).

My reason for a second camera is that there are some VERY COOL camera-based line tracking code examples on NI and I'd love to try them, but I don't want to have to pivot the camera up for Peg tracking.

Phil.
