Is this even possible, as CD and the GRIP wiki didn't seem to have much on it.

Secondly, how can you change the exposure of this camera in the code, before sending the image to GRIP? I have modified the camera settings but it likes to reset itself. We are using a Microsoft USB Lifecam.

Thanks!
In another thread, I was told that you can't do this with a USB camera, at least not at this time. You need an IP camera. (The developers were contemplating adding some sort of support.)


We have successfully run grip on the driver station, and exchanged data with the Roborio via network tables.
