If you do not have LabVIEW installed, you can use any programs installed on your PC that use a webcam (like Skype, Debut, Windows Camera, etc) to test.Use NI MAX to test your camera's hardware. This tool will not only allow you to test whether your camera captures images, but also allows you to manually adjust the camera's settings for more in-depth testing. If you have LabVIEW installed on your computer, you have access to a tool called NI MAX.Plug the camera directly into your PC to verify that the hardware works. If none of the modes are successful and you still don't see any images on the camera stream, the camera may not be working correctly.Try setting your camera to one of these modes. When the test is done, check if any modes are listed as successful.While the test is running watch the stream on the left to make sure the camera feed is coming through.This will connect to your camera and run through all of the different configuration options. Determine if the camera is communicating with the roboRIO by running the Camera Compatibility Test tool on your roboRIO.If the message in the camera display indicates it is waiting for network tables, close the Driver Station and the Dashboard, and then re-open them.If the messages in the camera display toggles between robot addresses without counting down or showing the name of the camera, restart your robot code.There are different steps you should try, depending on what it says: If adjusting your frame rate and compression settings did not cause your images to show up, take a look at the text displayed where the image should be.
