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. This repository provides minimal functionalities to stream and republish over ROS the infrared camera FLIR Boson 640.

Getting started

  1. Install requirements: catkin_simple and OpenCV

  2. Build the package with catkin build boson_camera

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Run the code roslaunch boson_camera boson640.launch
