Hi,

I have used flir_camera_driver for BFS-PGE-27S5C based on spinnaker SDK and i installed spinnaker SDK in ROS Melodic framework in Ubuntu 18.04. but i am not able to build in ROS melodic framework. It always showing spinnaker.h not found even after installing spinnaker (Installed based on README in spinnaker).

So please provide me some inputs to proceed further.

Thanks & Regards, Sudha

There are a number of drivers for FLIR and pointgrey cameras in ROS that I know of, of which only the pointgrey_camera_driver looks like it is maintained:

The other option is to write your own node using PySpin (the spinnaker python interface). There are some basic wrappers around PySpin like simple_pyspin.

I've always had some issues with the drivers and I only now realized that the pointgrey_camera_driver has a Noetic version so I resorted to using PySpin in a custom node.

I tried flir_camera_driver and spinnaker_sd_camera_driver, both is always showing spinnaker.h not found even after installing spinnaker in ros melodic framework.

Also i tried pointgrey_camera_driver after connecting the flir blackfly camera and it is compiled but when launching the nodes,it shows "Reconfigure callback failed with error:PointGreyCamera: connect could not find camera with serial number 2034292 ,Is that camera plugged in? | FlyCapture2:: Error type 2:failed to get camera from the serial number.

please suggest any method to solve this issue.

If I remember correctly there is a config file in the pointgrey_camera_driver package where you specify the serial number of your camera. If you check in spinview, is 2034292 indeed the camera ID? If you are not able to detect the camera at all, you might also have a udev permission issue, but if you installed the Spinnaker SDK, the setup guide will do that if you accept the default settings.
