raspicam_node image_raw=true don't work on PI2
Hi, I'm working with a raspberry pi 2 with ubuntu MATE 16.04.7 server (the only version that I could use with raspicam). I've installed raspicam_node from this repo following the official instructions. I need to get uncompressed image for apriltag. So I enable raw image on launchfile. But image_view and apriltag_ros throw an error like [ERROR] [1615055637.841805351]: Unable to convert 'bgr8' image for display: 'Image is wrongly formed: height * step != size or 1231 * 4920 != 3075072' I've tested a lot of resolution even heigh / 16 and width / 32. The same test on a raspberry pi 3b+ works ok.
Then I found this repo: https://github.com/dganbold/raspicam_node It's very old, but it works ok on my raspberry pi 2.
Is there a way to get this official repo, working with raw images on pi2? Is there an explanation why it works on pi3b+ and not on pi2?
Thank
You probably don't have the /opt/vc libraries.
These can be installed by a snap install of rpi-userland followed by copying to /op/vc
sudo snap install rpi-userland –edge
copy the userland/opt/vc from snap to opt/vc (this installs the mmal libraries)
You may need to rebuild the node in catkin.
Also for the camera to work you need
gpu_mem=128 start_x=1 in your /boot/config.txt
Good luck.
PS. raspicam_node does not work on a Pi using ARM64, stick to ARM32 (Armhf)
Another thought does the usb_cam ros node work on the pi 2?
raspicam_node from ubiquity is working on my pi2 but with compressed image only. The problem is with RAW image enabled. If I enable RAW image then running image_view gives the error I've posted. If I disabled RAW image and running image_view with transport=compressed then I get images. The problem is apriltag needs uncompressed images. The other thing is raspicam_node from this repo: https://github.com/dganbold/raspicam_node works ok with raw images.
