Re: Camera IP doesn't stick

In addition to the cRIO program modification Mike mentioned, if you move the camera to the 2nd cRIO port it still won't be visible on the default Dashboard. Default is programmed to assume the camera is connected to the bridge at a particular IP address.

To see the camera image on the Dashboard while the camera is connected directly to the cRIO it's necessary to create a new Dashboard project and change how the camera image is retrieved.

For the other problem, where the camera image never comes back after cycling the power on the robot:
= Is the light ring on the camera green?
= I'd see if you could web browser to the camera at either of the two potential IP addresses just to see where it's at
= See if cycling just the camera power causes the camera to drop out, too. That would isolate interaction with the bridge as a potential cause.
