Onboard Computer

[divixsoft]

Thanks for such fast replies. So what you are saying is I can have the highest quality image I want sent to the on board computer. Then send smaller images to the driverstation?

If so, how would the network setup work, in detail please I do not know that much about networking.

Thanks a ton,
Dimitri

The networking is pretty simple. The cRIO, Camera, and on-board computer should all connect to the radio. Give the on-board computer a static IP address of 10.xx.yy.12 (or another unused IP address).

Thanks for the reply, but how would you suggest I set this up:
Robot Camera takes the picture then sends it to the onboard computer, the onboard computer processes it, than sends values back to the robot. I know how to do these parts, but I am not sure how to communicate between driver stations. I want to be able to set which target to search for from the driver station to the onboard computer. Also how could I send coordinates from the onboard computer to the driver station, to draw on the driverstation feed?

thanks
Dimitri

Use SmartDashboard variables. If each of the devices you mention speaks the SmartDashboard protocol, the values are kept in shared and kept in sync. In what you describe, you have SmartDashboard on the dashboard, robot, and imaging card.

What are smartdashboard variables, and does anyone have any experience with robotrealm?
