Re: Clarification of Team Update #5
Your sure? Even if the laptop is plugged directly into the driver station?

I quote from team update #5:
"If a team really wants to transmit images from the camera back to the Driver Station during a competition, they can decompose the video frame and pass it as user data in the available 984 bytes per packet. "

This makes it sound like you CAN send custom packets. As long as they conform to those size rules and the target, in this case the laptop is plugged into the driver station. (Into port #2)

This way the packets will goto the driverstation then the laptop.
I don't suppose theres any answer in the FAQ?
P.S. What does FMS stand for?
