Re: Configuring OpenCV with PandaBoard

OpenCV needs to run on the Panda board.
The result of the vision processing, most likely the target information, is then forwarded to the cRio.

If you need to see how it has been done by others, the search function will yield lots of results. Try searching for "Raspberry". Also, there are a couple white papers that might help.

Spectrum 3847 has this white paper that helped me tremendously. They wrote this for a Raspberry Pi, but it should be able to give you the help you need.
I was able to use it to get a fully functional tracking system using a PCDuino.
If you would like to see the code I came up with, just PM me and I'll get it to you.
It is written in Python, but that should not be an issue.
