OS: Ubuntu 12.04
ROS: Fuerte
Camera: Bumblebee2 08S2C
Other Software include: Bumblebee2 ROS package, libdc1394-22, Coriander programme.
Nice tutorial to set up all this: here

After debugging some errors due to incompatibilities wrt different ROS and Ubuntu releases I have successfully compiled and built the Bumblebee2 package and made the appropriate changes to the original files (explained at the tutorial link) to use it with a BB2 camera.

However when I launch the package with the launch file provided I the following error is returned:

process[bumblebee2-2]: started with pid [3926]

Also if I open the Coriander and try to display the camera output coriander throws an error that says it could not get the ISO status. (??)

Camera works fine, I have tested it in another computer and I can actually see the output using Coriander in that other machine. any ideas?

If coriander does not work on that machine, you probably have an IEEE 1394 problem, not a ROS problem. What are the differences with the one that does work? Different bus interface card, maybe?

I agree with @joq. Also, you really shouldn't have to recompile libdc1394 and coriander from scratch, it's available in apt on Ubuntu. Perhaps you introduced some error through doing that.

Thanks guys, actually I did not recompile libdc1394 as I knew I already got it. I installed Coriander using Ubuntu Software Center (much easier and straightforward than the kind of installation done in that tutorial). What confuses me it is that Coriander recognizes the Bumblebee2 camera when opening it, I mean that if I open Coriander while having the camera connected to the FireWire port Coriander actually recognizes the camera and it can tell the info for the device detected such as the name (Point Grey Research Bumblebee2 BB2-08S2C), the GUID and other specs. I can also go to services tab of the Coriander and set up the format and other options but it is when starting the ISO control to display the camera output that I get that error of "could not get ISO status". Also if I look into the kern.log file when connecting the camera I see a firewire_core message that tells that a device was created with the same GUID that later the Coriander tells (is the same of course). So I don't know what actually could be wrong in there about the IEEE1394...

Ok, Coriander does display the camera output now however, launching the ros bumblebee2 package I still get the same error saying that it fails to open the device. Maybe there is some configuration of the camera that I did wrong?

Any ideas from the error output?

You need to make sure that you have appropriate permissions to access the hardware without using sudo. I know that this has tripped people up in the past, so it may be worth looking into.

Actually when installing the FlyCap2 software from Point Grey, during the installation a user group called pgrimaging is automatically created (and your user added to that group) with the necessary udev rules to configure this group to have access to all the IEEE1394 and USB devices...
