Issue with setFormat7 when running Chameleon3 #162

Closed sspatank closed 6 years ago

sspatank commented 6 years ago

When I try to launch bumblebee.launch, I get the following error:

[ERROR] [1520389180.149167419]: Reconfigure Callback failed with error: PointGreyCamera::setFormat7 Format 7 mode not supported on this camera.

I am trying to run Chameleon 3 on Ubuntu 16.04 i7 computer. It does get listed properly as shown below:

Number of cameras found: 1 [0]Serial: 17453955, Model: Chameleon3 CM3-U3-31S4C, Vendor: Point Grey Research, Sensor: Sony IMX265 (1/1.8" Color CMOS), Resolution: 2048x1536, Color: true, Firmware Version: 1.12.3.0

Hi, it seems similar to an issue I had some time ago and I solved with this: https://github.com/ros-drivers/pointgrey_camera_driver/commit/db22db0c7e08230066f37f2cbd37e6012476eede

Could you check that you have the latest version of the driver?

sspatank commented 6 years ago

Do you mean the ros package? It is the latest package. 0.13.4-0xenial-20180115-020148-0800 Also, the camera does show up on FlyCapture2 and I can the streaming image.

The lines of code that are giving trouble are shown below.

Format7Info fmt7Info; bool supported; fmt7Info.mode = fmt7Mode; error = cam_.GetFormat7Info(&fmt7Info, &supported); PointGreyCamera::handleError("PointGreyCamera::setFormat7 Could not get Format 7 information", error); if(!supported) { throw std::runtime_error("PointGreyCamera::setFormat7 Format 7 mode not supported on this camera."); }

I looked at your issue and you were trying to change the mode. I am just trying to get it start talking with ROS and publish some basic topics.

I have traced the function back to Camera.h in flycapture/include/ but it is declared as a virtual function there and never overwritten anywhere else as far as I can tell. Are there common mistakes that may prevent the camera from supporting Format7? I already increased the USB data limit.

I was running the Bumblebee package for my Chameleon3. I used the camera launch file and it worked. Thank you for your help.
