For the past two years, my team has used the M1103 camera for vision processing. In the past this was as simple as configuring its static IP (which for the last two years was 10.45.4.11) and connecting it to the wireless bridge, then connecting the cRIO to the bridge. After that point, the camera could be accessed both wirelessly via
http://10.45.4.11 and the Driver Station
However, the new 2015 control system with the RobioRIO includes ports for USB cameras, as well as a new IP system through mDNS. After configuring the IP through the axis camera utility, which set the IP to change via DNS (10.45.4.20 one time and 10.45.4.22 another), I have been able to display the camera via the web interface at its respective IP. However, I have not been able to view the camera on the Drive Station. I open the Dashboard and the Driver Station, change "Camera Off" to "IP Camera," then enable the code. Nothing shows up.
Currently, the camera is connected to the router, along with the roboRIO, which I can access wirelessly. I have also tried an Ethernet chord between the computer and the wireless bridge.
What makes this situation even more annoying is not only the lack of resources regarding 2015 camera configuration, but I also receive an error when I load the driver station: "IMAQdx: Camera not Found," along with a hex code. I have found no explanations for this error. I can view camera feed on the web interface, but not on the driver station. I have used the setup utility for the axis camera, along with the bridge access point setup, multiple times.
I am aware that the new "IP" for the axis camera is axis-camera.local. I receive no connection. Only on the IP provided by the axis setup utility can I receive any feed. Is there a way to set this? I notice in the code there is a select function with either axis-camera.local or USB 0. I have ran the code in test mode and have noticed that false is sent, selection axis-camera.local. Is there a way to change the camera "IP" to axis-camera.local. Is that why the driver station can't find the camera?
Thank you very much
EDIT: I realize this should probably go under Control Systems.
