With the m1013 and other IP and USB cameras, you can have the DB display the images without the roboRIO doing processing. Except for knowing the IP of the camera, you really don't even need a roboRIO for this to work -- just the db and the camera.

I'm wanting to understand how the disconnected camera is affecting what is running on the roboRIO. If it is easier than answering questions, please get in touch with me via PM and tell me where to get your code or I'll give you email to give me your code.

I'm not sure how the disconnected camera is affecting the code, that's what I'm trying to figure out. We can drive the robot fine, its only the data transmission to the dashboard that is affected. Tonight I'll see if I can replicate the behavior with smartdashboard to rule out our dashboard being the problem.

By the way, we turn on vision in robot main.
