So we have the RPi from the Romi in the kit of parts so as we cannot afford a LimeLight i was wanting to try to setup some vision tracking with the RPi.
You can start here: Vision with WPILibPi — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation
Am I supposed to code python on the RPi or code the stuff in the robot code?
Try Photonvision. Works really well.

For the hardware side the most available limelight-esk all-in-one solution is probably getting a Playing with Fusion - SnakeEyes Hat and Pi Cam since you already have a Pi:

For the software side, I’d also recommend PhotonVision.

Yea I was looking into LimeLight but our team is a low budget one sooo we can’t afford it. I’ll check out the Photon thing.
Yeah, that’s why I like the work done by Playing with Fusion giving us a $40 hat we can add to a COTS Rasperry Pi that gives us all the convenience of PoE and built-in LEDs.

yea for the camera i was going to use the CameraServer camera we already had connected for vision in harder spots. I don’t know if we need the leds but there is a ring on it but it isnt connected to any power yet. I think i got it installed properly on my computer however i wont know until tomorrow because i have no way to flash the micro sd card and the day school day is almost over.
So I flashed the RPi and have the camera plugged into the RPi and an ethernet plugged in from the radio but the PoE didn’t work so i powered it through the Rio and i tried a few times but i cant seem to get into the RPi dashboard i can get into the dashboard and have my webcam seen but nothing else.
