Using gtx 1050ti with ZED SDK 1.1.0 on Jackal Robot. #146

Closed hman2005 closed 6 years ago

hman2005 commented 7 years ago

I am trying to get the ZED working when attached to a Clearpath Jackal robot. The robot has it's own local computer that runs on Ubuntu 14.04, so I was forced to use ZED SDK 1.1.0. The robot is designed to run with ROS, so it already had ROS Indigo installed. This led to some issues with OpenCV compatability, but I fixed that by dual installing OpenCV 3.1 alongside OpenCV 2.4.8 (the version that was there initially). I will also mention that my cuda version is 7.5. Lastly, we hooked a GeForce GTX 1050Ti up to the robot, as it didn't come with its own GPU.

In list form: ZED SDK 1.1.0 ROS Indigo OpenCV 3.1 Cuda 7.5 GTX 1050Ti

Now, whenever I try launching the ros wrapper, it is telling me that my there is no compatible GPU available. It looks like this: 

core service [/rosout] found

Running ZED Diagnostic gives me the following:

This guy had a pretty similar issue, and they said that he has to either upgrade Ubuntu to 16.04 and CUDA to 8.0, or to get a new, older GTX. Are these really my only options? I can't upgrade without potentially breaking everything, so I would have to buy a new GPU.

Also, I think its worth mentioning that, as the robot doesn't have a screen, I can't run most of the built-in tools.

@hman2005 have you solved this issue? As far as I know some Ubuntu systems do not start graphical environment if there is not a screen connected to HDMI port, this is why you get "No compatible NVIDIA device found".

There are a lot of ways to solve the problem, let me know if you need a solution anymore.

I close the issue but you can continue to post comments if you need further help
