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

[aeastet]

Hi Greg,

After a few hours of trying we got the Kangaroo to talk to the RoboRio. What do I need to do to have the Kangaroo set up as it's own client? I used the Dashboard name for the client on the Kangaroo and it worked. When I switched it to the Kangraoo name I did not get data. I am guessing that I have to set up the Kangaroo as its own client for this not to happen. What are that basic steps to do this?

One other thing that I am not liking is that we talk as long at the RoboRio is connected than we get really long delays when the RoboRio is not connected. This interferes with the vision processing. I would like to have this so if we are not talking to the RoboRio that we do not cause problems with the vision loops. I can build my own client using the vi's that are provided but if there is something simple that I am not doing I would prefer to play in FIRST's world. I did chase down where we are having the problem and I am sure that I can program around the problem I'm just wondering if I am not doing something correctly and that is why I am having the problem in the first place.

Thanks for any advice,

Tim
