[ros-users] image_proc doesn't work with camera1394

[Eric Perko]

Jack,

Thanks for the update. Could you post a launch file that works for
you, grabbing just whatever the first camera plugged in is? I updated
my version of camera1394 and verified that both /image_raw and
/camera_info had nonzero timestamps, but image_proc topics still won't
output anything using the launch file I specified in the original
report. I'm going to try it on another system using a clean boxturtle
install (I run latest on my laptop); if you have a system running
latest instead of boxturtle, could you give it a shot and let me know
if it still runs there?

- Eric
