FLIR Boson ROS Wrapper

ROS Wrapper camera interface for the FLIR Boson 640 being used for the Zauron. This is an initial work-in-progress project.

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
