Re: Setting up the Axis M1011 camera: wifi or wired?

The original "radio" on the robot was a wifi bridge without an integrated switch. This meant that there was no way to connect the camera except to route it through the cRIO and have the cRIO forward the data from one port to the other.

Even if using an 8-slot, I'd recommend plugging everything into the DLink. This makes it easier to calibrate and debug even if you aren't viewing the image on the dashboard during a match.

By the way, if nothing is plugged into the ethernet port, you may consider a bit of tape over it to keep the metal debris from collecting there. NI actually recommends mounting the cRIO vertically, like a picture on a wall, but teams seem to prefer the horizontal, like a plate on a table. This tends to make it collect all sorts of glitter and debris, and the 8-slots were not conformal coated and most teams didn't install the gaskets. Electronics don't like glitter.
