USB camera

[Kent]

Hi guys. Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. Is it possible to connect a USB camera to the raspberry pi/Robo-Tank controller and use a program on the pi to access the images or video. 
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kent, I think it's likely possible although I've never tried. I just did a quick search and found this tutorial, maybe give it a try.

For sure you won't be able to access it through reef-pi, depending how it's setup you would likely need to open a program or a webpage to view it.

Thanks Rob. I have been looking through the raspberry pi threads and I thought it would work also. Cheers for looking into it. I'll get it set up and try it again in a week or two.

No problem, let me know how it goes.
