Any way to speed up the camera feed fps?

why would a value NOT be leagal? the best compression range is 20-80

I think he means legal software-wise, not Game-Manual-wise

Yes, legal software-wise. For instance, if the camera is looking to receive a value between 1 and 100 then 200 would not be a legal value. If the code was not written with the proper error checking who knows what would happen. Apparently legal was not the best term to use when dealing with a game with so many rules.

I would assume that because the GUI interface for the camera allows a setting between 1 and 100 that the writeCompression function would also use these values.

our resolution is at the lowest we can get it. I will try Delians idea.

I think that Delian's idea might be a quick solution, but it's probably not legal during competition.

From posts on other threads, it seem that some teams are using Fast User Switch to run both the developer and driver accounts. Running the tools and the DS in the different accounts seems to have slow screen updates.

A better approach seems to be to run all of the programs under the developer account. Run the dev tool and then run the driver station from the Start menu.
