FLIR Boson ROS Wrapper [deprecated see zauron-interface]

ROS Wrapper camera interface for the FLIR Boson 640 being used for the Zauron. This is an initial work-in-progress project. This repository provides minimal functionalities to stream and republish over ROS the infrared camera FLIR Boson 640.

Getting started

0. Install requirements: catkin_simple and OpenCV

1. Build the package with catkin build boson_camera

2. Connect the FLIR Boson 640 camera.

   Make sure that your system has read access to the device, which should be listed as /dev/ttyACM0

   If not you can give access to the device by invoking sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/ttyACM0 command

3. Try to find the unique ID that your Boson 640 has by using these commands:

   $ cd /dev/v4l/by-id
   $ ls
   

   Your device ID should look somewhat like this:

   /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-FLIR_Boson_XXXXX-video-index 
   

   Update the launch file accordingly

4. Run the code roslaunch boson_camera boson640.launch
