Re: Camera Setup

First of all, the camera when plugged into the cRio it's on a different network from all of the other systems. Therefore, you can't acsess it directly. Since you're using windriver, you'll need to manually start a video server--check the C++ reference for the "PCvideoserver" object. Remember to take video server code out before you compete however--it will just bog down the CPU and bridge.

As for switching development environments on the cRio--just make sure you put in the team number right and that the current configuration matches what you're actually using, and it should work fine.
