Camera Preparation and Assistance Please

[sircedric4]

I am using Windriver C++ to program my camera and have it working great in autonomous and tracking. My problem is that I have heard that I need to adjust the camera to the real live conditions on the field for my upcoming Regional. In order to prepare to be able to do that I have been trying to get smart ahead of time.

I have read on the forums here that the easiest thing to do is adjust the brightness to account for the bright lights. Two questions have come up and I need help.

I have tried to just logon to the camera using its IP address but have not succeeded there. I have tried logging on while it it hooked to the cRio as well as straight to my computer with no luck. I am using the crossover cable while making this connection. Do I need to change the IP on my computer from the working configuration to another configuration in order to talk to the camera? What is the procedure you successful people are using to talk to the camera?

The other question is whether there is a Labview program similar to the dashboard that I can evaluate the colors with? I keep seeing people reference some Find Two Colors.vi but I can't find that program anywhere. I want to use Windriver so don't want to re-image my CRio to use the Track Two Color Demo.

Thanks
