Revision history [back]

Ok, I got it work by the following steps. I think the key is to add correct udev rules and give the user right to access the udev group which FlyCapture installation will do for you.

1. Install common ROS camera driver stack which includes camera1394 package which we need for Point Grey Firefly MV USB camera. sudo apt-get install ros-groovy-camera-drivers

2. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/libdc1394/ and download libdc1394 Extract to desktop and enter in the extracted folder. Follow the readme file to install libdc1394

3. Go to http://www.ptgrey.com/support/downloads/downloads_admin/index.aspx and download FlyCapture v2.3 for Firefly MV 13S2C Extract to desktop and enter in the extracted folder. Follow the readme file to install FlyCapture
