Re: USB Cameras with roboRIO

You might try using Vision Assistant. Connect your laptop to the roboRIO, camera to roboRIO. Open Vision Assistant and select Acquire Image. Choose the second acquisition method that includes USB. Change the target from My Computer to the roboRIO. See if the camera shows up there and see if it works.

Some USB cameras do not work with UVC, the linux mechanism for USB webcams, but do work with DirectShow, the MS mechanism. If it works in Vision Assistant, it should work with the WPILib VIs.
