Re: 2010 FRC camera vision tracking delay, image processing lag

Our team is working with C++ using the WindRiver workbench (not labview) and data is already correctly sent back to the driverstation (data packing is not an issue).

Specifically our issue is the amout of time the tracking function takes to execute, we want it placed in it's own thread.


We need C++ help with:

(1) Creating a new VxWorks task
(to separate vision processing into its own task)

(2) Creating a shared global variable using semaphores
(to pass "target array" information back to the main OperatorControl loop)


Sorry for the confusion, I will post sample code later tonight to illustrate this concept.
