Preliminary implementation for use of spot cam #91

Closed heuristicus closed 1 year ago

heuristicus commented 2 years ago

I was able to spend some time with the most basic version of the spot cam and developed this interface to it. I am hoping to get access to spot cam +IR at some point to implement the remaining items. In the meantime I'd appreciate testing/verification from someone else who has access to a spot cam.

I went for a much more modular approach to interacting with various components of the system, and this is something I think I'd like to try and do for the main driver as well, see #90.

To use this, turn on the robot and start

roslaunch spot_cam spot_cam.launch

I've implemented an rviz tab for it as well, with what I suspect are the more useful commands to have rviz interaction for:
