Hello,

I'm new to Ubuntu and especially to ROS.

I use the thermal camera A65 from FLIR and found a driver here.

How do I download and run this driver on ROS? Could somebody give me the exact comands I have to type in, beginning on opening the terminal the first time?

I'm very frustrated, because I need to use the camera with ROS but can't even follow the README on the repository..

Thank you very very much in advance!

Edit: ROS-Version: Jade Turtle; Ubuntu-Version: 14.04

Update: If I do a catkin_make in ´./catkin_ws´ I get the following error. How can I solve this?

It would help a lot if you first describe your problems. What are you doing? What is happening?

change into the catkin_ws/src directory and type "git clone https://github.com/KumarRobotics/flir... after downloading, change into catkin_ws directory and type "catkin_make". This should build flir_gige, the e-bus sdk you need to download from pleora and install it, like described

hope this does the job

EDIT: like the error tells you, you need to install e-bus, its mentioned in the README file of flir_gige.

Thank you very much! Downloading to ./catkin_ws/src worked but after doing the catkin_make in directory ./catkin_ws I get this Error. I've done everything in the README except Running the Node.

What have I done wrong? How do I continue? Again, thank

Please update your question and copy the error message there. Otherwise, the answer here will be useless for others if the image hoster removes the image.
