Does anybody know the sample code necessary to accomplish this task?

Thanks.
Might I recommend using the SmartDashboard? It will allow you to code camera vision in Java.

The first thing you need to do is install the SmartDashboard installer (just run the SmartDashboardSetup.exe as an administrator on your 2Go pc).

Then follow the Greg's instructions (except when you configure the camera, make sure to allow anonymous viewing of video).

1. Configure your camera to 10.te.am.11 using the camera configuration tool.
2. Connect the camera to the switch.
3. Connect the driver station laptop to the switch and set the DS team ID.
4. Launch the Driver Station. It will launch the dashboard.
When your running the SmartDashboard, select "view>add..." and select the camera.
