Is there a way to get the video footage from the api to get it onto the SmartDashboard? #14

My team just started using this API and we were having trouble interpreting it and we wanted to know.

No, sorry, there is no way of getting video from the Pixy2 over these interfaces. The Pixy2 can only send a video feed over USB, and there is no fully functioning Java port of the USB driver. You could take a look at these projects below if you want, but I don't think either will do the job.

What I did, is I plugged the camera into a computer, installed the Pixymon program, and set everything up on there. Once it was working properly, I connected it to the RoboRIO for the robot to use the data.
