Crio doesn't find Camera images

Technical Java

Hello,

So I set up the camera with the camera setup utility, to connect through the router. (10.xx.yy.11). The problem is that I can see the image on the dashboard, but my code doesn’t find the image. I know this sounds kind of weird, but when I used “camera.getImage();” it doesn’t return an image and I get a null pointer exception error. Any Ideas?

I’ve got the exact same problem, anyone know what’s going on?

Did you call getInstance() first? (I imagine so, since it appears on the dashboard, but, just in case…)

thanks for your reply, but I found the problem. First make sure your camera is set to “10.te.am.11”, than make sure it is plugged into the d-ling bridge. Then in the code, make sure instead of the plain .getInstance(); use the .getInstance(“10.te.am.11”); so the crio can communicate with the camera. Also set the Camera up with the updated setup utility.

Thanks so much cooltext! I’ll try this out as soon as i can. too bad we already reset the camera and now have to reconfigure it…

We’ve been through all of these steps as well. We can access the camera, but the image return from GetImage() has 0 width and 0 size.

Suggestions?
