Hi Lynn,
I finally have it working; here is the code in case somebody needs it. I posted part of the code earlier on a different post, but here is the updated code.
I am getting images from a camera up to 30fps and this should work with basically any camera.
I could not make it work (for some reason) copying and pasting to and from the clipboard, which i think would work a lot faster; if you know of a way to do this please let me know
Thanks for your time.
