Human Vision Camera compatiable with FMS & Java ?

[Greg McKaskle]

As I posted earlier, the LifeCam was tested during beta as were a number of other USB cameras. This doesn't mean that every aspect worked perfectly, or that the tests were super thorough, but I do not believe that any official channels have made any such statements about the LifeCam 3000 and FMS.

So, can you give details on what worked, what was tried, what error messages you received, etc?

The default dashboard will open a TCP connection on port 1180 to the roboRIO's IP address. It will then read the stream that encodes a jpeg preceded by a version string. This code is identical to last year, and was even used since 2009 for IP cameras that were forwarded through the cRIO. I assume that the SmartDashboard does something very similar.
