I've been using an android app (which doesn't appear to be on the store anymore), basically it was missing some information in the topics published that prevented other nodes that would consume camera data to function properly. I was curious if I could manually fake this data.

Hi! I've been using an android app to pipe the camera image into ROS.

This works moderately well, even though there is some lag to get the image.

The problem is that the published /camera/camera_info is all empty. (see below)

Is there a way I can override the camera_info topic with the calibration data I've gathered, and bypass what the AndroidCameraViewer driver reports ?

Thank you

Did you call $ source /path/to/catkin/devel/setup.bash ? It should setup catkin as the first thing in you ROS_PACKAGE_PATH env variable.

Ok it seems that using catkin it was as simple as :

cloning the repo of roscpp into catkin/src and then doing catkin_make

Conveniently catkin seems to export a LD_LIBRARY_PATH so that the library compiled in catkin take precedence over the rest of ros.

Hi,

I'm using ros groovy on armv7l, and I'm getting a bus error from from roscpp_serialization.

The error is well documented (on this forum too) and It seems that there is a patch that fixes it, but it hasn't made it into my ubuntu packages yet. And I can't find a way to replace this package in my ros build.

If I try to apt-get remove ros-groovy-roscpp-serialization, based on dependencies almost all of ros-groovy-* will be removed.

Is there a way to supersede binary packages with compiled ones ?

Thank you

I'm trying to compile hector_quadrotor using catkin_make, but I'm running into this issue :

http://github.com/tu-darmstadt-ros-pk...

The main problem is that hector_pose_estimation uses the hector_uav_msgs package only if it is available at build time (by find_package).

But hector_pose_estimation is usable without hector_uav_msgs, so it can't be a build dependency.

And because hector_uav_msgs is not a build dep of hector_pose_estimation, catkin_make will try to build hector_pose_estimation before hector_uav_msgs.

Is there a trick to declare optional build dependencies, or to force the dependency to build hector_uav_msgs prior to hector_pose_estimation ?
