Team 254 Presents: CheesyVision

[Mike Copioli]

We added it this weekend to our Prac bot. Looks like we will have two ball hot goal detect at Champs.

Thanks so much guys.

I heard a lot of teams at MSC were using CheesyVision this weekend with great success. Kudos to releasing such a nice product in season.

Class Act.

CheesyVision is much better than Teh CheeZViSHUN (which apparently just tinted all camera inputs blue).

As a heads up, I found that our netbook's webcam would cause an exception when the cheesy vision script started, to resolve this, I added a delay between initiating the camera connection, and grabbing the first image.

I don't have the script handy to share, but as someone who's never used python before, I'm confident that someone else could improve on the implementation anyway.

I also saw some weird connection issues between the Client and Server on Saturday on the field (all other systems were normal, just lack of cheesy-vision). I left more details on the issue here.

I learned to write software for FRC bots by reading 254's 2010 code. It's great that releases are still coming out each year.
