Re: Legality of External Co-processor

It fits the description of an custom circuit. However you may want to check the rule on connecting the camera, there may be a rule along the lines of "the data port of the camera may only connect to port # of the CRIO, and the power port may only be connected to the power distribution ..... yadda yadda. This could affect using that camera, however a different camera wouldn't fall under those rules.

Food for thought. However, Especially if you are going to use the axis camera anyway, you may look at porting your vision code over to the crio, I hear it is extremely beefy in processing power respects (relative)
