Problems with updating speed on the actual field
At Peachtree Regional, we had some problems concerning the camera and a PID loop for the shooter. If we ran the camera during a match, the PID feedback would stop working and we would have no control over RPM. However, the second we disabled the camera in the FRC PC Dashboard, the PID loop would resume function.
I personally thought that it was a problem with bandwidth for the FMS. Any suggestions on how to fix this from a code standpoint? Our camera is running at 320x240 , 30 fps, and 30% compression although we did mess with the Exposure, Brightness, and Contrast in order to see the reflective targets.
Also, my assessment may be completely wrong. I'd like to hear other ideas related to the cause of this issue.
Also, just ask if anymore clarification is needed or you want me to post code.
Thanks.
