Re: Processing Vision Code on Laptop

The Rectangular Target VI has code for My Computer target and the cRIO target. One is a PC, the other is on the robot. This will let you compare the results and performance.

I would encourage you to think about the rates you need from the camera and how it will be used before jumping to the laptop. But if you decide to use a laptop, you have two choices. You can use the dashboard program running on you driver station to do the processing and send data back to the robot using UDP or a similar mechanism. Or you can strap a laptop to the robot. That robot still needs to communicate to the cRIO, likely using UDP. The difference is that one is wifi connected and the other uses a cable.
