Thanks @aswin! I think I've traced the root of the problem... The hardware I have is 1394a compatible, allowing an ISO of 400. This means the images are transferred slower than the DMA buffer expects, and i get older images which are not overwritten twice. I'm working on a method using the PtGrey examples to take retrieve single shot images after flushing the libdc buffers - this should allow me to get images from all three cameras. Next step would then be to use the Triclops library to do the stereo conversion.

Hi @aswin! I was wondering what version of Linux/libdc you are using? On my Ubunut 13.04 install with ROS Groovy, I managed to get some images out (I had to use an ISO of 400), but I had 'loop' artifacts in the image stream. Not sure if this has to do with the libdc version or the hardware. Yasho

Hi Ashwin,

Please could you share the parameters/launch file you used? I'm having some issues getting the images out with the both camera1394 or camera1394stereo packages.

Thanks!

How are you comparing the angles? It might be the case that the force applied and door dynamics are such that the angles is never exact, causing the vibrations.

2013-09-04 08:08:51 -0500 asked a question Checksum error while building ROS/Gazebo from source

Hi!

I'm trying to setup ROS Groovy on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring (some of the hardware is not supported by Precise). As Groovy binaries are not planned for Raring, I am doing this from source following the instructions at on the ROS wiki.

When it tries to build Gazebo, it fails with a checksum mismatch.

Any ideas how to solve this or get around it (Gazebo is not critical for me at the moment, but it would be nice to have everything setup and running)...

Thanks!
