OK, We here in Goodrich, MI have completed all of these steps and this does not work for us. we are using c++, we have been using the 2010ImageDemo and it seems to have all the code posted above, we have all the updates and the camera works through the Ethernet port on the DS, we have had no luck here and would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance, Team 494 & 70

Are you using the orange crossover cable between the camera and the cRIO??
We're having the same problems you are and we did not have any success yet either.

Thanks for this! We just got our camera up and running.

To the above, we had that problem too earlier. When we tried to use a regular ethernet cable, the lights on the port on the cRIO weren't blinking. With the proper crossover cable (it was pink in this year's kit), the lights were blinking and we were able to get images on the screen. Are they blinking for you guys?

As for the code, where is the proper place to set up the camera instance? The way it is right now (in OperatorControl) it seems like the bot would stand still for 10 seconds at the beginning of the round.

You put the declaration of the camera object in the first set of brackets after the imports, and the rest in robotInit
