Human Vision Camera compatiable with FMS & Java ?

[Greg McKaskle]

that FIRST knows of an issue with the MS 3000 and FMS.

As a member of the FRC Control Systems Team, the author of some of the camera support code, and a frequent CSA, I'm trying to squash this statement. The FMS has no involvement with the DS/DB/camera comms. The field network is involved. It blocks some ports and affects connection timings, just as almost any ethernet or wifi network will. But it has no idea what is on your encrypted TCP/UDP stream between your devices. Waiting for FIRST to fix the FMS so that this camera works is not a good use of your time.

I'm happy to help you identify your issue, but pointing at the FMS is not productive. Instead, we need to look at which feature of the Java libraries you are using, which server, which client, etc. We can either look at the specifics of your USB solution, to help identify what is likely a timing issue in WPILib or how it was being used, or we can look at your proposed IP camera to help ensure that it works for you at your next event.
