Re: Viewing Camera Image from another computer

This is possible, in fact my team did this at competition last year. You need a proxy to send the information from one computer thought another. Since you can only hook things up to the classmate thought the USB port, you will need a USB to Ethernet adapter. I have attached a proxy, you will need to place were your old dashboard currently is, and rename it dashboard.exe.

Files are uploaded.

Instructions:
1)rename the new dashboard to dashboard.exe
2)replace it with the default FRC dashboard, be sure to keep the default somewhere
3)set the USB Ethernet adapter's IP to 192.168.1.5
4)Set the secondary computer's IP to 192.168.1.6
5) Change the IP address, in the dashboard, to your team number for robot and DS primary
6)Ours is in their by default but it's a text-box and can be changed

Feel free to send me a pm or post in this thread with any questions.
