wpilib.cameraserver Package

class wpilib.cameraserver.CameraServer

Provides a way to launch an out of process cscore-based camera service instance, for streaming or for image processing.

Note

This does not correspond directly to the wpilib CameraServer object; that can be found as cscore.CameraServer. However, you should not use cscore directly from your robot code, see the documentation for details

classmethod is_alive() → bool

Returns:

True if the CameraServer is still alive

classmethod launch(vision_py: str | None = None) → None

Launches the CameraServer process in autocapture mode or using a user-specified python script

Parameters:

vision_py – If specified, this is the relative path to a filename with a function in it

Example usage:

wpilib.CameraServer.launch("vision.py:main")

Warning

You must have robotpy-cscore installed, or this function will fail without returning an error (you will see an error in the console).
