Re: Intermitten power failures

Just a minor clarification. I believe the camera classes will timeout when the camera is down or not connected. If you have the camera code in the same thread that feeds the watchdog, your watchdog will be fed late, but the CPU load will not be high. If the camera code is in its own thread/task, the camera code will slowly return errors, with no impact on the rest of the robot.
