Re: Camera lag solution

OK, our video lag is about 5 seconds and the frame rate is about 0.5 seconds. We are running the dashboard on the classmate while logged in under the Driver account. The developer account is not logged in. Our picture size is 160x120. I set the classmate power features to "always on". We are usgin C++

One thing that might be different from other code is that we are running with the Default code instead of the simpleRobot code or VisionDemo.

I tried running everything under the developer account but saw no difference either. The connection to the robot is hard wired 100baseT.

Fortunately, our application this year does not require streaming video and I haven't measured the frame rate internally to the robot for the ellipse matching routines yet.
