package interferes with pointgrey cameras #50

Closed benjaminabruzzo closed 7 years ago

benjaminabruzzo commented 7 years ago

I've spent that last week trying to figure out why my pointgrey cameras stopped publishing their camera_info topics. It happens immediately after installing this package.

I'll be happy to supply config info, but the short story is this: ubuntu 14.04.5 ros indigo pointgrey-camera-driver (2x chameleon cm3-u3-13s2c)

The whole pipeline that I follow to install (sanitized for paths and licenses) pipeline.txt

Where did you get viso2 from?

mkdir ~/ros/src/viso2-indigo && cd ~/ros/src/viso2-indigo
git init
git remote add bb [path-to-package]
git pull bb master && catkin_remake

I started here: http://wiki.ros.org/viso2_ros , then imported a copy of the indigo tree to bitbucket, which I use to keep code versions frozen.

You wrote it happened after installing. Even if the nodes are not used. Can you show us a minimal example launchfile?

benjaminabruzzo commented 7 years ago

I'm working on a minimal launch file as well as a minimal clean install. I'll put it here when I finish.

I believe the issue was with the pointgrey camera driver. There is a known issue with the camera_info not publishing on ros-indigo installations when using usb cameras. issue 137 issue 134
