Re: Problems with three cameras

We were using three cameras on our robot this year (Forward drive, intake alignment, and reverse). They were spare HP cams the school had lying around, all identical. They also didn't have any identifying characteristics from the USB side of things and the RoboRIO would somewhat randomly assign them cam0 cam1 and cam2.

What we did was to use the SmartDashboard to set the camera names and the code that toggled the camera feeds used those values. Took an extra 15-30s once FMS came up on the field to switch through the cameras and make the settings changes, but it worked fine from there on.
