Re: Recent FMS Update?

It looks like I spoke too soon. In our next practice match the camera feed was dead again.

We can't close and re-open our LabVIEW dash without forcing it closed by logging out of Windows. I don't know why it won't close when we command it to close. The process of logging out then logging back in and restarting the driver station and dash takes about 3 - 5 minutes so that's probably not a good option right before a match starts.

In 7 competitions last year and 2 this year, we have never had a problem with the camera feed starting. It really has me baffled.
