We haven't tried a USB camera with GRIP on the RoboRio. However, we've been going through some contortions to get it running on the Raspberry Pi 2, and that's also Linux and may share some problems/solutions?
We're using a Logitech C920 USB, and were initially unable to get it directly working with GRIP running on a RPi2. Not too surprising, since that platform isn't not officially supported by GRIP. However, there's an awesome
thread on Github with a lot of great community activity getting GRIP onto RPi2.
With the info in that thread we were able to get that USB camera's feed published
as an IP camera using
mjpeg-streamer, which GRIP was then able to find and use on the RPi2, running Linux Arm. Might be something to try on the RoboRio?
We haven't yet verified GRIP is publishing stuff to NetworkTables, we hope to verify that tonight.
