Re: No Camera Image in Dashboard

I have connected to the camera through an internet browser and I have gotten an image. Also, I have connected the same camera to another personal laptop with driver station, and it works just fine.

I have done a bit of searching around on the forums and have found nothing that works...
I think we had this problem for a moment too, be sure you do the following to setup (this is Java code because that is what we are using, the api should correspond to something like it in Labview and C++ though):

Code:
camera = AxisCamera.getInstance();
camera.writeResolution(AxisCamera.ResolutionT.k320x240);
camera.writeBrightness(50); //or whatever you want if 50 is too dark/bright
I also may have seen somewhere you need to update the DriverStationLCD manually at least in Java. We were doing this already for some feedback for our drivers but it can't hurt if it still isn't working.
