We have also had problems with the camera, but we fixed this. Remember to install the Utilities 2.0 update to get the latest Axis Camera Setup Tool.

1. Disconnect the crossover cable from the robot, turn off the robot, and connect the crossover cable to your computer.

2. Hold the reset button while connecting power to the camera. When the camera status light turns amber, release the button.

3. The status light will after approximately 20 seconds turn green. Open the Axis Camera Setup Tool found in the "Tools" tab in LabVIEW.

4. On your computer, go to your network connections, where all of your "Local connection" and "Wireless Connection" are. Right click the local connection (usually local connection 2) and select Properties.

5. Double click on the TCP/IP IPv4 in the little white box.

6. Change your IP to 192.168.0.11 and your Subnet Mask to: 255.255.255.0

7. Click ok, and ok to save your settings.

8. Go back to the Axis Camera Setup Tool and set it up for 8-Slot cRIO. I know you're supposed to hook it up to the Robot Radio but this is how I made it work. I tried to set it up with Robot Radio and team number but I failed all the time.

9. Go to your favorite web browser, and type in the camera IP which is 192.168.0.90

10. The username and password is now FRC and FRC, and use that as login for the camera.

11. Go to Setup -> TCP/IP, choose to configure your settings manually, and change the settings to 10.xx.yy.11 where xx and yy represents your team number. The subnet mask can be either 255.255.255.0 or 255.0.0.0 (thanks Mark McLeod!). Leave the rest as it is, scroll down and click "Save".

12. Turn off the robot again, and connect the crossover cable to the robot radio, any slot.

Congratulations! You have now set the camera up with your robot! If you haven't changed anything in the Vision Processing VI, you should now get image to your Dashboard.
