Re: Easy communication between Raspberry Pi and roboRIO
The NetworkTables solution worked great, now we have bi-directional communication between the roboRIO and the Raspberry Pi. Thanks to the amazing team behind RobotPy and pynetworktables! You guys rock.

I have one question though. Is it viable bandwidth and latency wise to send image data over NetworkTables, or will I have to resort to a traditional HTTP server implementation for that? I'm asking because I'd like to display output from the OpenCV script in SmartDashboard but all the solutions I've seen for video streaming from Python use a basic web server implementation and I don't feel like I'd be able to pull that off without concurrency problems since I'm a novice at Python.
