Webcam was mounted by Greg onto the back of the roll cage. The motion library was setup to stream the webcam to 10.9.44.176:8082 in daemon mode. 10.9.44.186:8081 is a configuration panel to change the stream properties in real time.
At 30FPS, there is almost no time delay (~100-200ms) and low CPU usage on the fitPC. However, the network bandwidth may play a factor somehow because the robot seems to buffer points faster when the webcam is off (not 100% confirmed yet).
Motion daemon was added to /etc/rc.local in an attempt to load it on startup. What's left to do:
Confirm server starts when the PC is powered on
Investigate possible negative effect on running the operation script while webcamming
Also @PayneTrain the usb cord needs snipping :smile_cat:
