Ok, so after going through
this tutorial, in an effort to get the camera working on SmartDashboard, I ran the installed version of SmartDashboard (both through the Driver Station, and through the actual file itself) and I found that no widget would actually appear when I clicked on
View>Add>camera, effectively making it so that I would see neither a camera feed, nor a black box that lacked a camera feed. The thing that puzzled me so much, though, is the fact that when I run
View>Add>Laptop camera I see a light next to my webcam indicate that the webcam is in use, but still no image or widget appears on SmartDashboard, seeming to imply that there is something installed to SmartDashboard, but I, for some reason, can not see it.
