I have been struggling to get the USB Camera to work with the RoboRIO for a long time. Now that I see that the new game has many obstacles that make it hard for the driver to see, I desperately want the camera to work. I was reading the Game Manual for this year and I saw under 2.4 Section this:



So that got me wondering if I could do roboRIO-4480.local:1180 and see if the camera itself isn't working?

no, the protocol isn't http. Also note the men's name changed this year.

            self.camera.startCapture()
            self.camServ = wpilib.CameraServer()
            self.camServ.startAutomaticCapture(self.camera)
        except:
            self.camera = None

I put this in the startup __init__ code.

It isn't going to work if you don't implement the changes from your other thread http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...mp;postcount=2
