Ps4eye under Jade

[edmodi]

Hi, I followed all step to configure the Ps4Eye and I do it but I don't see any image. With cheese I can't see anything too. My kern.log not show error:

The camera not show any light when the nodes are running

My kernel version is 3.19.0-41-generic with Ros Jade

Thanks in advanced

Hi,

Some people are suffered from not working ps4eye device as UVC camera (as in #19 #20 ps4eye/ps4eye#10) . In #19 I found I needed to downgrade the kernel to 3.17.3 to make it work with my Macbook air. However, @hyaguchijsk reported he could use it with newer kernel (with his machine, ThinkPad).

Unfortunately, this problem seems to be concerning the upstream project or the linux kernel(UVC driver) or hardware compatibility. This ROS package is not related. You can ask your issue at the upstream project, but it is not so active anymore.

If many people cannot make this package work, we may need to make this package resigned from ROS release. How do you think of it ? ( @k-okada , @hyaguchijsk , @yoshimalucky )

HI,
Can I use the same camera parameters for stereo rectification or do I need to recalculte it for my ps4eye with opencv ? (I'm using some other driver for ps4eye, not this package)

[k-okada]

I think we'd better to keep releasing package and collect information on working version

List of working version

• 3.17.3 + Macbook air (Issue :  #19)

List of Kernels

version	code name	kernel version
14.04 LTS	Trusty Tahr	3.13.0

I wrote a workaround in #20 .
