Java, Camera, Watchdog...

[AlftanSr]

As if there weren't enough camera/java issues on this forum already, I have a question.

First off, I should add that we're using the DefaultCodeProject, and just edited it to our needs.

Our code works fine, so we decided it was time to bring in the camera. In our constructor, we added:

camera = AxisCamera.getInstance();

When we deployed that to the robot, our robot would turn on and off and on and off, while our driver station was displaying either 'Teleop enabled' or 'Watchdog not fed' messages.

We commented out the one line of camera code, and the robot worked fine again.

What's the deal?????????????

As a side note, we tried loading the CirclTrackerDemo project, but didn't get any camera on the dashboard. But at least the Watchdog was happy! Unlike me...
