5 years ago There are a few ways that we can handle this to minimize the headaches from 2017.
- Serial direct to roboRIO.
- Utilize networktables, requires an intermediary like an RPi or other.
- Write a simple UDP socket client/server program, requires an intermediary like a RPi.
The first option will likely be the 'quickest' option. However like we've discovered in the past, the roboRIO serial connections can be a little 'unreliable' at times.
If it were me, I'd probably go for the third option as it is simple, reliable and doesn't require a lot of overhead.
I can assist as necessary, just let me know.
This was a pain in the butt to program in the 2017 season when we used the PIXY and even then, it never really worked. So we should solve this issue now before we get too far invested into the JeVois.
