Re: usb camera name in roborio

This is a problem for our team as well. We have two robots with two RR but we run the same code for both...but the camera names vary between the two robots. This seems to be a legacy of using the same camera on both RR along the way. One RR has two cameras which it named cam0 and cam3. Don't know why cam3 instead of cam1 or cam2. The second RR had one of those cameras plugged into it at one time and now we have a new camera for use with the second RR, which it named cam2. This scheme seems problematic if you want to run the same code on both RR as the robots are clones.

Can anyone state the scheme for camera name assignment so we can understand what is going on and is there a way to control the name assigned to cameras or rename it?
