I've been trying to get a Dalsa Genie TS-M4096 camera to work with ROS. I'm currently using the camera_aravis drivers to talk with the camera. However, I'm running into an issue where I cannot adjust the exposure time. When I try to do that I get an error saying "Camera does not support ExposureTimeAbs".

Has anyone ever worked with a Dalsa camera with any drivers and successfully been able to get images from it?

Thanks all for your assistance,

Where there any other configurations that you had to change to fix this issue?

Did you ever figure out what you needed to get this to work? If so, what did you use to generate the calibration file if that was needed?

In my program I have a service call when I need to get some data.

if(ros::service:call("service_x", call_x))

This service goes and gets data from a sensor, processes the data, and pubishes the results.

I want to know if there is way that I can cancel or kill this service call if the sensor node crashes or becomes unresponsive.

Thanks All

Thanks for your help, I followed your steps and see the changes to the UI.

how do i merge this so that i dont have to source it every time?

Hi All,

I’m trying to update the Moveit! GUI to include the ability to change the number of planning attempts, as shown in the slides posted here:

Website - http://rosindustrial.org/ftp-status/

Direct slides link - http://static.squarespace.com/static/...

I removed my existing MoveIt! package. Then, I start following the steps from the slides. Install moveit! from source, erase and update the 3 folders, build it, run the new setup assistant on an urdf, and generate the moveit package. Then when I run the demo.launch (from the new moveit package) to test it, in the rviz window, I’m not seeing the update to the GUI.

Has anyone else tried this and can tell me what I’m doing wrong? Im new to ROS and ROS-Industrial so i could have missed a simple step.

Seperate but related question, In the kinematics.yaml file (part of the moveit config package) there is a kinematics_solver_attempts. Is this the same thing the GUI is changing? If so i could change that manually to gain the same effect.

Thanks,

Ben


UPDATE - Addition Details

I removed the ros-hydro-moveit-full package with "sudo apt-get remove ros-hydro-moveit-full"
I checked out the moveit package (following the install moveit from source steps)
I built the moveit package using catkin_make

I would suggest following the Industrial Ros tutorial for creating a Moveit pkg, linked below. http://wiki.ros.org/Industrial/Tutori...

It has you add a Kin. chain for the arms instead of adding joint. This seems to solve the issue of the missing markers. This method is the same way the arms are descriped in the kinematics.yaml that you can download through "sudo apt-get install ros-hydro-moveit-pr2".
