I was able to get this working on boxturtle (dunno what in latest causes it to fail, but it still doesn't work when using the install from http://ros.org/rosinstalls/latest_pr2.rosinstall and http://www.ros.org/rosinstalls/wg_latest_devel.rosinstall). It does work with the install from /boxturtle_pr2.rosinstall and then just checking out camera1394 and libdc1394v2 from trunk individually. Jack, it seems to be working fine for me with the updated libdc1394 based timestamp as well. Jack and Jeremy, thanks for your help getting all this sorted out and working. - Eric On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 10:57 PM, Jack O'Quin wrote: > On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 7:13 PM, Jeremy Leibs wrote: >> On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 2:24 PM, Jack O'Quin wrote: >>> On Sat, Mar 27, 2010 at 2:57 PM, Eric Perko wrote: >>> >>>> Has anyone else been able to get any 1394 camera working with >>>> image_proc using either camera1394 or an older 1394 driver? >>> >>> Yes! >>> >>> I just noticed that camera1394 was publishing a zero time stamp. >>> (Didn't we used to get warnings about that?). >>> >> >> That explains the problem.  The time-synchronizer, which synchronizes >> the image and camera_info messages requires that the two messages have >> the same timestamp. > > They actually were the same: both zero.
