Re: Problems with USB camera(Lifecam)

Check your CPU usage. Ours skyrocketed when we enabled the camera, no matter the resolution / fps. We had two incidents on the field when we could not drive, but other motors worked just fine. It turns out we were hovering at 110% cpu usage for all of our matches, and that somehow disabled the drivetrain. Our rudimentary solution was to use a raspberry pi with MJPG streamer to get the feed to our driverstation.
