How can I make a LimeLight efficient

Hi CD Community :hugs:

My team and I have been experimenting with limelight. But I have a few questions.
Firstly, my main task in the team is not software. Thats why I may be overlooking very simple things :sweat_smile:

We r currently using a swerve chassis.

  • MK4I Swerve Modules
  • 8 Neo 1.1
  • 4 Cancoder
  • (We dont use CANivore)

We wrote a limelight code before and it was not bad. But we want to use it much more efficiently
(for Apriltags) Therefore, can you please tell me how I can get a near perfect efficiency starting from the most basic and how I should follow a path in the code for this?

Hello!!!

Are you asking how to do path-following based limelight position or are you asking “path-way” to make limelight work with April tags?


Limelight Basics
One of the amazing things about a Limelight has been its extremely Plug’n’Play nature, making it very accessible to beginning software students. They have some amazing documentation that can be found here.
Once you get a camera connected, make sure you can get values from the limelight to the robot via network tables. You can then dive into this documentation on reading April tags.
