Team 254 Presents: CheesyVision

[phurley67]

Wanted to say thank you. I helped our team get it working with labview yesterday at the Michigan Championship. I made a couple minor changes to the python script: classmate laptop already flipped the image, so I removed the flip logic and fixed left/right, switched to using UDP, and slowed down the send frequency. UDP made the reconnect stuff unnecessary and simplified the labview interface as well.

While there I also helped 107 with a copy of the code and while I did not touch base to see if they got everything working, I know in testing they also had it working in auton (controlling wheels for easy testing).

The whole team got a real kick out of playing with the code. Thanks again for an elegant and cheesy solution.

Yeah, UDP is definitely a more straightforward way to do this, but we had already implemented a TCP server on our robot and decided to repurpose it.

Also the squawk JVM that runs on the cRIO doesn't support UDP listen sockets.
