Re: Field lag please help

At the Finger Lakes, the head inspector was going around to teams that were having packet loss and advising them to change the camera FPS from 30 to 10 in the driver station code. We were one of them. We did not notice any negative affect at 30, but some teams did. It defaults in the LabView driver station project to 30 FPS. I can't remember the name of the VI to change, but in the middle loop, there will be an IMAQ object outside the loop. You should be able to find the FPS constant of 30. Change it to 10, re-build, then replace the existing exe in the driver station program folder (rename existing exe to save it).

You could disable the camera if you aren't actively using it and test. You could just unplug it's Ethernet cable.
