USB camera, error "Could not start Vimba system: TL not loaded." #29

Closed mac137 closed 2 years ago

mac137 commented 3 years ago

Hello! I plugged my USB Alvium 1800 U-319c camera and installed this ROS driver on my ubuntu 20.04 with ROS Noetic according to the instruction sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-avt-vimba-camera.

When I do roslaunch avt_vimba_camera mono_camera.launch on a sourced terminal, it says: [ERROR] [1614724799.379538586]: [Vimba System]: Could not start Vimba system: TL not loaded.

Then, I downloaded Vimba 4.2 from https://www.alliedvision.com/en/products/software.html, installed it, and set up the proper path to GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH so that when I do echo $GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH it gives me the correct path. However, when I try roslaunch avt_vimba_camera mono_camera.launch, it gives me the same error.

I can add that when I open the VimbaViewer from /vimba/Vimba_4_2/Tools/Viewer/Bin/x86_64bit, everything works - I can see the listed camera and the video. But when I make for example /vimba/Vimba_4_2/VimbaCPP/Examples/ListCameras/Build/Make and then run ./vimba/Vimba_4_2/VimbaCPP/Examples/ListCameras/Build/Make/binary/x86_64bit/ListCameras I get almost the same error Could not start system. Error code: -16(TL not loaded.)

Please help! How can successfully roslaunch your driver on ROS?

Hi, I'm using a GigE camera. But I received the same error whenever I forgot to execute the installation of lib/VimbaX_X/VimbaGigETL/Install.sh There seems to be the same Installation possibility for USB cameras. sudo ... lib/VimbaX_X/VimbaUSBTL/Install.sh

Was the solution for me

Thx @PhilippSchmaelzle for your suggestion, but in my case, I do install Vimba_4_2/VimbaUSBTL/Install.sh and make sure that the GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH is properly set. Nevertheless, the error persists.

I reported this issue to Allied VIsion, and indeed, they agreed (after 2-hour remote testing on my PC) that this is a Vimba-related bug. I am waiting for their fix then.

Allied Vision said they have never bumped into this bug and they are working on it. In the meantime however, I have changed my PC and now Vimba_4_2/VimbaCPP/Examples/ListCameras/Build/Make/binary/x86_64bit/ListCameras works. However, this ROS driver still does not work with my USB camera as it keeps displaying this error [Vimba System]: Could not start Vimba system: TL not loaded..

Does this ROS driver account for the 64bit version of vimba 4.2? I am asking because vimba 4.2 sets path to GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH only. GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH is empty. Even when I try to set the same path for GENICAM_GENTL32_PATH as it is for GENICAM_GENTL64_PATH, this ROS driver still does not work.

Any ideas on how to fix that?

Hi, Excuse me, have you solved this problem, I also encountered this problem...

Hello. I bypassed this problem by writing simple drivers in python based on Vimba_4_2/VimbaPython/examples/

 Hi, Maciej~
 OK.
 Yes, I think you are right. I also made changes based on the official

Vimaba SDK, but it has not been successful. Can you share the driver file that you have changed? Thx~ Best wishes~

Hi:

I used Alvium 1800U-1236C camera , which is the usb camera, do you think is it possible for me to directly use this driver to run my usb camera？ I knew the GUID of my camera... Thx!

@maciej-3 and @Mickeyyyang if there is anything you have discovered that may help this driver work better on USB cameras, I'd be happy to accept a PR or create the PR myself. Hoping to do a new ROS1 release soon, so would be good to get the fixes into the new release.

Thanks!

For those who may come across this in the future, USB support has been added by this PR: https://github.com/astuff/avt_vimba_camera/pull/54
