Re: LifeCam USBCamera changing settings from Java

I gave up trying to get image processing working on the roboRIO. I ended up having really bad problems - either GRIP or the robot code was crashing and generating a core dump (a HUGE file). This core dump was taking up all the storage space on the roboRIO which in turn would prevent the robot code from launching (you'd see exceptions that it couldn't write certain files because there was no room left on the device). I ended up moving everything to a Raspberry Pi. We now have a very stable system that works quite well and gives us all the control we need. I intended to post detailed documentation when I get a chance.

As for doing the above in C++, I did get that part of the process working in Java. C++ should be quite similar. Where is your code crashing?
