Synchronize more than three camera #239

Closed jieunko closed 2 years ago

jieunko commented 2 years ago

I am about to sync 3 or more camera using Daisy-chain configuration. If I use daisy-chain, camera in the middle suppose to be subordinate for master camera and master for the last camera. However, there is just one "wired_sync_mode" for ROS_mode parameter to set. So what should the middle camera's mode in this case?

I'm sorry, I don't have an answer at the moment. The ROS node currently does not officially support multi-camera setups. (There are pass through parameters like the wired sync mode, but they are not tested or documented)

There is a work item to support a multi-camera setup - https://github.com/microsoft/Azure_Kinect_ROS_Driver/issues/126, but this work has not been funded.

Duplicating to the feature to officially support multi-camera. https://github.com/microsoft/Azure_Kinect_ROS_Driver/issues/126
