Cameras are crucial to competitions since many parts of the field are not directly visible to the driver.
You can read about how to use the [https://first.wpi.edu/FRC/roborio/beta/docs/java/edu/wpi/first/wpilibj/CameraServer.html CameraServer] class on [https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/currentCS/m/vision/l/669166-using-the-cameraserver-on-the-roborio ScreenStepsLive].

1. Open FRC VSCode
2. Create a new FRC project.
3. Type the following into Robot.java

{{{
import edu.wpi.first.cameraserver.CameraServer;
}}}

4. Inside robotInit(), configure the camera with:

{{{

5. You can view the camera video in the smart dashboard or on the shuffleboard.
   1. To view the camera feed on the smart dashboard, use the pull-down chooser in the lower left
      corner to select USB Camera 0.
   1. To display the camera feed using shuffleboard, read about it [https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/currentCS/m/shuffleboard/l/814689-tour-of-shuffleboard here]

Smartdashboard and shuffleboard can be used interchangeably, however,shuffleboard is far more user friendly and visually appealing.

6. To display the camera open up Shuffleboard and read [https://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/currentCS/m/shuffleboard/l/831042-displaying-camera-streams this]
