Give a hint about using this driver using the default USB adapter.

Tested using Firmware version: 2.0.1.0

versatran01 commented 8 years ago

@andre-nguyen Thanks for the update. That change will probably require to recompile the package, maybe we could add it as a ros param.

andre-nguyen commented 8 years ago

Indeed that would be the proper fix, I plan to properly work with the vn100 begining march. Maybe I can contribute some proper fixes at that time.

As a side note, are you guys actively using the vn100? I plan on getting this hardware synced with some PointGrey Firefly's and just wanted to be aware of any possible snags I might hit.

Yes, we are actively using the vn100 and we use it to trigger ptgrey chameleon3 cameras. The sync driver can be found at KumarRobotics/cam_imu_sync. I just did a huge refactor of the driver in another PR #4 , I'd really appreciate it if you could give it some tests.
