Overview

This stack is where we feature our custom ROS drivers that we are developing for our various projects. At the moment, we only have simple drivers for the MatrixVision BlueFox family of cameras and a (branched) driver for PointGrey cameras (tested with Chameleon monochromatic and color cameras). pgr_camera_driver is also a simple wrapper to the FlyCapture2 SDK.

Installing

From git (download-and-compile)

First, make sure you have git installed (e.g. in Ubuntu/Debian-based distributions):

   1 sudo apt-get install git-core

Next, download the ccny_drivers stack. (Make sure to include the correct directories to the $ROS_PACKAGE_PATH, as defined by your ROS setup.sh file).

   1 git clone http://robotics.ccny.cuny.edu/git/ccny-ros-pkg/ccny_drivers.git

To build ALL packages in the ccny_drivers stack, run:

   1 rosmake ccny_drivers --rosdep-install
