Re: Saving Photo to Computer from Camera

By the way, I recently used the AVI VIs to save off a movie related to robotics, and it is pretty straightforward. One oddity is that the file must have an avi extension and it only works for 8 bit and RGB image types. If your DS computer isn't fully loaded, you may find it intersting to save off videos of the camera with ringlight. I'd be interested in different ones to learn how much the shooter motors vibrate the camera, how close other field elements appear, etc. I have some photos I took of WPI that I'll post showing how lights and other elements look a bit like the goals.

The AVI api can also be used to playback the video through your processing code to learn when it missed a target or saw a false target. Again, if you aren't going to do this with your robot movies, I'd like to.
