Multiple Photonvision Devices on Robot Network?

Hello! My team is working on getting AprilTag / reflective tape tracking working on our robot prior to some off-season events we have coming up. We have a Limelight 2+ and a Raspberry Pi 4b on our robot, and both have PhotonVision installed with different hostnames and static IPs.

I’m wondering if this will cause any issues with programming or networking. I did a very quick google but didn’t find anything. Thank you all!

Shouldn’t be a problem. Make sure to have different names for the cameras, then, each device will post its data to a different NT topic: photonvision/limelight and photonvision/raspi.

We had two raspberry pi 4’s on our robot last year, each running PhotonVision. Different hostnames, different static IPs, different camera names. Worked fine.

As long as you name the cameras different and they have different static ips setup it shouldnt be an issue, we had 1 instance of photonvision and 2 other limelights running the limelight software last year without issues.
