OpenCV and Grip in Eclipse

I’m trying to create an instance of a USBCamera, but I end up getting this error:

platform: /Windows/amd64/
platform: /Windows/amd64/
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: USB is not supported yet
	at edu.wpi.cscore.CameraServerJNI.createUsbCameraDev(Native Method)
	at edu.wpi.cscore.UsbCamera.<init>(UsbCamera.java:16)
	at edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CameraServer.startAutomaticCapture(CameraServer.java:537)
	at edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.CameraServer.startAutomaticCapture(CameraServer.java:525)

Is this something I can fix with an update (or a similar tactic), or is USBCamera simply not compatible with my computer right now?

The latter. I’ve not yet implemented USB camera support for Windows in cscore. It will work in desktop Linux (e.g. Ubuntu or the like), just not yet on Windows. Windows support is on my TODO list for this summer.

Sweet, hope I’ll be able to use it on Windows next year!

In the meantime, I suppose it’s about time to learn to use the other half of my dual boot… XD
