Re: Multiple Cameras on Smart Dashboard

True that!
We had similar experiences.

Here's some good documentation from 2168, that references the FMS and the new hardware for 2015: 2168_beta_test and here is the white paper that cbf mentions: FMS white paper

2168 has this to say about bandwidth:
Quote:
NI states the new 2015 protocol should only use about 90kbits/sec vs the 900kbits/sec of the 2014 protocol, so this should give more headroom for users wishing to utilize the link bandwidth. This does not change my recommendation. Try to limit all comms between the Robot and DS to 5MB/s max to ensure smooth operations.
(sage advice -tho we're pushing it this year )

Also, search the various Vision System threads for 2015 (maybe you already have)

I'm not leading our vision system efforts, but I'll volunteer brk (Brian) as a good resource. Feel free to send him a PM...

thanks
Eric
