raspicam_node

edit

I am following the raspicam_node instructions from raspicam_node on github. I am using raspbian, I installed ROS Kinetic from source. I installed the Raspberry camera V" (it works for stills and video). Then I followed the instructions from github to install raspicam_node. I had to use catkin_make_isolated --pkg raspicam_node instead of catkin_make.

The make appeared to run without errors and rospack list shows raspicam_node in the list of packages. Unfortunately roslaunch fails giving:

roslaunch raspicam_node camera_module_v2_640x480_30fps.launch

I have tried to find an executable for raspicam_node without success. My problem is that I am not familiar with ROS or cmake and am overwhelmed my abstraction and complexity when I try to find out what is going on. I am not sure that anything was actually built at all ! What should the output of the raspicam build be ? Roughly where should I look for it ?

The output of the build was:

catkin_make_isolated --pkg raspicam_node
