Getting the Network Tables to work with an off loaded vision system

[aeastet]

We have vision software that works on our desktop very well. I would like to further take this system and move it to the Kangaroo computer that we purchased. I have the vision system working there even better. We have tried a few thing to get the NT server and read write stuff working. What needs to be where for this to work?

Questions:
Do we need the dashboard running to process these messages?
Can we communicate directly to the RoboRio from the on board Kangaroo computer?
What if anything do I need to add to my vision software on the Kangaroo?
Do I just add the write function to the vision processing and the server will get the values and store it or is there more to it than that?

Thank you for any advice that is given.
