Re: Urgent- Python USB Camera not working

There is also a smart dashboard plugin that allows you to have direct dashboard output. You can find more info here: https://robotpy.github.io/2016/01/14...r-for-roborio/

I'm having some trouble installing this. I'm using our backup roborio, and made sure it's all up to date.

I download the opkg file using the installer.py and then attempt to install it on the RoboRio via the installer as well. However, I get the error that libjpeg8 packages are found, but are not the right arch. However, they are listing as cortexa9.

Is there a trick to this? or should I try the online install?
