Our camera has recently stopped working for very little apparent reason. It is connected to the radio, which is in AP mode, via a crossover wire. The Camera has been reconfigured multiple times, both manual and automatically, as well as the radio. I’ve checked the firewalls on the driver station, though I wasn’t quite sure which one to check. I know that the camera itself works because I received video when doing manual configuration. It is correctly mounted and there are no problems their. The code only uses the axis = AxisCamera.get Instance();, and that should be fine. All of the updates for the DS and the cRIO should be fine. We even tried getting a new radio an trying to replace the old one. I am out of ideas completely, I have know idea how to fix it at this point.
Any ideas?
If the camera IP keeps changing back to 192.168.0.90, it could be that the button on the back of the camera is pressed to reset or being pressed during boot up.
Pay attention to the lights on the camera, and look at the camera IP.
If the IP is correct, you may need to turn on anonymous user access. Java requires this for dashboard, and may require it for robot access too.

No I tired both of those an neither solved the problem. However, while attempting the manual configuration of the camera I realized that the camera we have is a m1011 is different than that, which is displayed in the manual , the 206 camera. Furthermore, I don’t know if this is applicable but the driver station is receiving data in the form of mbps but isn’t displaying any picture, so maybe its just a display or programing issue?
I’m not sure but thank you for the response and thank you in advance to any others with possible ideas.

If you are seeing video in a browser but not in the DS, check that the format the camera is broadcasting is MJPEG.
STeven.
The M1011 is a slightly fancier M206. It is what FIRST started shipping when the 206 was discontinued. Verify that the camera viewing works in a browser, and verify that NI Vision Assistant works and is licensed.

Thank you so much Greg,
It turns out that the LabView license had expired without anyone noticing. I haven’t finished re verifying the license, but I’m pretty sure that that’s the problem.
Thanks again, I’ll post when the license is verified on whether the camera works or not.
Yep the Camera is working now, thanks!
