[ros-users] Using two webcam for uvc_camera stereo_node

[Suraj Swami]

Hi,

In all I have three camera. two external webcam and 1 integrated webcam on
laptop.

When I run the command
$rosrun uvc_camera stereo_node

using the integrated webcam and either of the external webcam everything
works fine and I get required topics published.

I am facing difficulty get the two external webcam running together. The
node would crash. I get the following error at the end

unable to set control: Invalid argument
ERROR: could not set some settings.
 unable to set control
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  unable to start capture
/opt/ros/cturtle/ros/bin/rosrun: line 35:  5770 Aborted
$exepath "$@"

 every time I try to run the above command. and  do dmesg I found the
following related error
[ 2892.239017] uvcvideo: Failed to submit URB 0 (-28).

I tried searching general solution for this dmesh problem. But did not find
any solution.

I am using a low cost camera. So I am not aware what specification I can
provide about it.

Has any one come across similar problem?

Waiting for a reply.
