camera - console error messages

[oddjob]

First thing this morning I checked everything, and the Driver Station reported cRIO image V19.

Just for laughs, reformatted and reimaged the cRIO to C++ v19. Loaded the same camera code that hasn't been working, and bingo, an image on the Dashboard. That is with the Driver Station and Dashboard on the same PC @ 10.xx.yy.5. Does the cRIO calculate and verify a checksum of the loaded image? It seems totally odd that the Dashboard would report the image version but yet there was something corrupt in the cRIO.

Next we loaded 2010ImageDemo and it ran first time. Images to the Dashboard and drawn in circles when toggling the joystick trigger and looking at the target. We couldn't successfully find a target but our bullseyes are hand drawn and the code appears to be very sensitive to the accuracy of the circle. Still, it's huge progress from yesterday. We were ready to throw the camera into the river.

Are you really close to your target by any chance? If the circle is over a certain size the image tracker rejects it. Also, we chopped up the default targeting code for our bot and it seemed very flexible about the circles (a little over sensitive IMO). Make sure there is nothing in the way of your target. If anything interrupts the edge of the circle then the tracker fails
