GRIP Read CameraServer Output

Technical Programming
1

Hello, my team and I have been experimenting with the new 2017 CameraServer, and I was wondering if it is possible to access the dashboard stream from GRIP on a coprocessor connected to the network, now that the class uses an mjpeg stream? And if so, how? We have tried using the roboRio IP address without success; should we use a different IP, or is there a specific port that the camera’s on?

Add IP camera, set URL to

roborio-TEAM-frc.local:1185/?action=stream

Thanks! I’ll try this next time I’m at the build room.

Is it possible to send multiple camera streams from the roborio to GRIP simultaneously?

Yes. Each call to startAutomaticCapture() will host a stream on the next port. The first one is on 1185, the second is 1186, third is 1187, and so on

Edit: I misremembered. Ports start at 1181, not 1185

OK, Thanks!
