I hope this is not a re-post. I looked at some other posts and they did not help.
So… I set up the camera as the getting started with the frc 2012 control system .pdf said. When I plugged the camera into the radio and opened the driver’s station the camera would show up. However when I plug it into the 2nd Crio port it shows nothing even if I change the ip back to 192.168.0.90 I want to do vision processing so I need it to work plugged into the crio. ( I am using a crossover cable) Any advice? I can’t even connect it to my computer anymore.
You can do image processing anywhere with it plugged into the DLink as you had it before. There is no particular reason to be plugging it directly into the cRIO.
The cRIO can request images from the camera just like the Driver Station does. The images come in via Ethernet either way.
If you really, really want to plug the camera into the cRIO port 2 for some strange reason, then the Driver Station must be changed to ask for images from the cRIO, and the cRIO code must be changed to forward images to the Driver Station. That’ll slow the image stream down though. It’s much more efficient to have the camera out on the general network and let both the Driver Station and cRIO request images from it there.
How would you do this? I think the cRIO is broadcasting the images because a PCVideoServer is started, but I can’t figure out how to get the driver station to show the processed images instead of the video directly from the camera. We have the new cRIO with only one ethernet port, so I can’t plug the camera in there.
