Dear Sir, I use Ubuntu 16.04 and I want to check out the stack containing swissranger_camera using svn, but after running this code "svn co https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/bran... , I got this error: "svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/branches/trunk_cturtle/stacks/camera_drivers_experimental' svn: E000111: Error running context: Connection refused"

I appreciate you to help me to solve the problem. Thanks, Abbas

Hi, I am new for using Ros. I used an example to read the range data from IR range sensor by using Arduino kit and ROS. Now, I want to use the data from IR range sensor to turn on/off a small dc motor by using Arduino and ROS (for example if the distance from IR range sensor is more than 50 cm, we send a command to run the motor, and else turn off the motor). I appreciate for any help.

Thanks, Abbas

Hi,

I try to run swissranger camera (sr4000) on ROS. I follow this tutorial http://visionlab.uncc.edu/dokuwiki/us...

I installed the camera on Ubuntu properly. I tried to run it on ROS, but when I run this command (in the tutorial, in the step 3) "catkin_make", I got this error:

CMake Error at /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/catkinConfig.cmake:83 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "driver_base" with
  any of the following names:

    driver_baseConfig.cmake
    driver_base-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "driver_base" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "driver_base_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "driver_base" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

How can I solve this issue?

Hi DT,

Thank you for your answer. I communicated with the kinova company, First, they said I can use the urdf of mico1. Second they sent me edited kinova_comm.cpp in kinov_adriver/src and it works now.

Hi Rick, Thank you for your answer.I already did it.

I communicate with a guy in the company, and I wait for their solution for it. Hopefully they have a solution.

Hi gvdhoorn, Yes. I asked them, they answered me.They just said check your ROS_PACKAGE_PATH environment or use the urdf of mico1, but the solution does not work

Hi,

I follow this tutorial "https://github.com/Kinovarobotics/kinova-ros" to run kinova Mico2 robotic arm(4DOF, with 2 fingers gripper). I asked the kinova company, they said the urdf for Mico1 is the same as Mico2, and I can use the urdf of "m1n4s200" (we do not have urdf for Mico2). When I use these commands:

cd ~/catkin_ws/src/kinova-ros/kinova_bringup/launch
source ~/catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash
roslaunch kinova_robot.launch kinova_robotType:=m1n4s200 use_urdf:=true

I got this error:

[ INFO] [1479922329.941725121]: kinova_robotType is m1n4s200.
[ INFO] [1479922329.943356180]: Initializing Kinova API (header version: 50200, library version: 5.2.0)
[ERROR] [1479922329.945686387]: KinovaCommException: Could not initialize Kinova API (return code: 1015)

How can I remove this error?

I could not find any xacro script for mico2 robotic arm in urdf folder (in kinova_description). How can I solve this issue?

Hi,

I am new in ROS. I can run the swissranger_camera (sr4000) on ROS (I also can see the distance and intensity image of the camera with rviz). This camera has an interface for windows, and I can save the data (distance, or intensity data) in one file (that file is just for one image in a specific time). My question is how can I get and save the data from the camera on ROS (like the interface on windows does)?

Thanks, Abbas

Hi,

I followd "Download and install swissranger_camera tutorial" (I use ROS kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04 and installed the Ubuntu on virtuall machine).I edited the udev rules, and I also run sudo chmod -R a+rwx /dev/bus/usb.

When I run

rosrun swissranger_camera swissranger_camera

I got this error

[ERROR] [1477869827.785201373]: Exception thrown while connecting to the camera: [SR::open]: Failed to open device!

How I can solve this issue?

Thanks,
