Hi, the installation was not a problem. It installed just fine. I was receiving errors when i ran rosrun usb_cam usb_cam_node or the roslaunch usb_cam usb_cam-test.launch commands. The system would quit after giving a bunch of errors. I listed the errors above in my question.

2016-07-31 11:52:24 -0500 answered a question usb_cam package and head_camera.yaml missing

I solved this problem by installing Ubuntu 12.04 and ROS indigo. Apparently usb_cam package is not working on ROS kinetic. Also ROS indigo doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04 so I had to downgrade to 12.04 for that.

I'm still getting calibration errors but there are online tutorials to calibrate it. I'm getting video output now on Rviz so i can calibrate it.

asalam o alaikum bhai jan. Do you mean you used "Raspbian Jessie" ? You wrote "ROS Jessie". Just confirming.

2016-07-31 06:14:43 -0500 answered a question Installing Indigo after Kinetic?

You can not install indigo on Ubuntu 16.04. I had a similar problem in which I had to downgrade to indigo from kinetic. However, I found out that ROS Indigo ONLY supports Saucy (13.10) and Trusty (14.04) for Debian packages. . So I got it from here.

http://releases.ubuntu.com/14.04/

I had Ubuntu 16.04 with dual boot with Windows 10. As there was no other way to downgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to 14.04, I had to erase ubuntu 16.04 and install a fresh Ubuntu 14.04. After that I installed Indigo> And everything was working well :)

So to answer your question, you have to install Ubuntu 14.04 to get indigo! Have fun :)

I was trying on kinetic. I had Ubuntu 16.04 also. So usb_cam package was giving an error just like yours. Then I saw that usb_cam is not supported on kinetic. Its supported on jade and below. I wanted to be safe so I decided to go for indigo with ubuntu 14.04. Now its working fine!!

Are you using ROS kinetic?

2016-07-29 15:43:19 -0500 commented question Getting started with usb_cam

I have the same problem in which im using a logitech camera. Im running ubuntu 16.04.1 though. When i run rosrun usb_cam usb_cam_node, I get the exact same error and it quits. I read many tutorials online and all of them invole getting some kind of an image output from the camera.

Hello, I am new to ROS. I have been trying to do usb camera integration into a robotics project at our university's lab. I will write the steps i did and the errors that i got.

  1. I went into my ~/catkin_ws/src folder and i ran

    git clone https://github.com/bosch-ros-pkg/usb_cam

  2. Then I went into my ~/catkin_ws folder and ran

    source /devel/setup.bash

  3. Then I ran

    roscore

  4. Then I ran

    roslaunch usb_cam usb_cam-test.launch

  5. This was the output ... logging to /home/submetu/.ros/log/1fd73732-55ad-11e6-a65d-d8fc93edb7dc/roslaunch-submetu-9724.log Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile. Press Ctrl-C to interrupt Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.

I tried the tutorial of http://wiki.ros.org/camera_calibration , but I am not getting any camera output because the above error comes everytime. So I cant calibrate i.e. i cant get the head_camera.yaml file. I looked at many tutorials but I could not find anything helpful to me.

Please help :(

Thank you in advance (im using a lenovo thinkpad e440 with ubuntu. My camera is a logitech camera(it is connected as cheese is giving video output))
