Chalkydri system design
Chalkydri has a somewhat complicated design, as most vision things do, but I really hate poor documentation.
Once the robot is powered on, each Chalkydri device will:
- Boot up (almost certainly faster than everything else, because Alpine is awesome like that)
- Attempt to connect to the roboRIO's NetworkTables server
- Initialize camera(s)
- Initialize ML accelerator(s) if applicable
- Prepare backends
Chalkydri waits until it connects to the NetworkTables server successfully to actually start running. It will negotiate with the roboRIO and start processing frames.
