No Camera Feed to Dashboard

[Mark McLeod]

Is your laptop connected to the DLink wirelessly?
If it is, then try connecting with an Ethernet cable instead to see if the camera image appears (enabling the video feed) on the Dashboard.

If it works while wired, but not wirelessly, then the camera settings are probably too bandwidth intensive. The wireless settings on the DLink emulate the real playing field bandwidth limitations for the Dashboard feed. If that's the case, then just adjust the camera settings using the built-in Dashboard controls until you get the camera bandwidth under ~5Mb/s.

Wait, can I connect my cRIO,my laptop, and the camera to the d-link at the same time?

Yes, as long as you have a long Ethernet cable and are careful not to drag your laptop off the table if the robot drives freely.

In the pits at competition that will be the normal hookup, because you won't be permitted to use wireless in the Pits, just on the field.
The DLink wireless will actually be locked down at competition, so you won't be able to connect wirelessly without the fields help.

Ok, it works now. I think the problem was the framerate, and thanks for helping me debug it!
