Re: Using Target Distance to Move Robot

Provided the camera is connected to the dlink, you don't need the cRIO to do anything with the image.

The dashboard reads the image directly from the camera.
The dashboard processes it.
The dashboard sends any target info to the robot via UDP string.
The robot reads the TDP string and updates setpoints which ultimately move the robot.

You don't have to do it this way, but if you want to use the laptop to do the processing, to allow the cRIO CPU to do other things, this is the way I'd approach it.
