Would it be possible to support the ROS melodic release?

mikepurvis commented 5 years ago

Are we just needing a release here? Has anyone built the driver from source and confirmed it works on Bionic?

florisvb commented 5 years ago

I can confirm that installing from source on ubuntu 18.04.2 running melodic does work, after also installing FlyCapture 2.13.3.31 SDK - Linux Ubuntu 18.04 (64-bit) — 10/25/2018.

Some more detailed instructions that may be helpful to some...

Tested with a blackfly or flea USB3 (I can't recall how to tell which one).

FlyCapture 2.13.3.31 SDK can be downloaded from: https://www.ptgrey.com/support/downloads (make a free account first, and follow the prompts to find your product and it will give the appropriate download link).

It may be necessary to install some other packages first (see: https://www.ptgrey.com/tan/10548): user$: sudo apt-get install libraw1394-11 libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 libglademm-2.4-1v5 libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2-dev libgtkglextmm-x11-1.2 libusb-1.0-0

Then run user$: sudo sh install_flycapture.sh where install_flycapture.sh is in the FlyCapture 2.13.3.31 SDK download.

Also note that for USB3 to work properly, you may need to follow these instructions (configuring USB-FS): https://www.ptgrey.com/KB/10685

To permanently modify the USB-FS memory limit:

In a text editor, open the /etc/default/grub file. Find GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" Replace with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.usbfs_memory_mb=1000" Update grub with these settings: $ sudo update-grub Reboot and test a USB camera.

@mikepurvis

FLIR currently asks users to use Spinnaker driver because of deprecation of flycapture driver, but the spinnaker driver for ROS ( https://github.com/ros-drivers/flir_camera_driver ) also depends on some packages on this repository.

As far as I see, the dependencies (wfov_camera_msgs and image_exposure_msgs) only contain message definitions, so I'd like to ask maintainers to release these packages first on melodic for spinnaker_camera_driver users, or should we move these packages to flir_camera_driver repos?

Has there been any progress on this? Even someone's personal fork that does the required rearranging?

@gftabor Hi! FYI, if you use a FLIR camera, you can use this repository. https://github.com/neufieldrobotics/spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver This repo can also work on ROS melodic when I use a FLIR camera.
