About

Use ROS2 in Elphel single or multi-camera systems. The cameras are 10393 system boards based on Xilinx Zynq, ARM.

Goals

Notes:

  • Controlling and initializing of multi-camera systems is already implemented using PHP API (autocampars.php), Python and lighttpd.
  • Using ROS2 is intended to simplify/standardize the above.
  • Using ROS2 is intended to make cameras compatible with other hardware supported by ROS1/2.

Having ROS2 cross-compiled and installed on each camera:

  • Initialize cameras in a pre-defined multi-camera system - sync and sequence critical init
  • Control multiple cameras from any camera of the system - parameters, recording
  • Control multiple cameras from a PC (with ROS2 for PC installed).
  • Control multiple cameras from a network device (w/o ROS2 installed, but with a browser) - by accessing a web server running on a camera interfaced with ROS2 of the camera. Can use nodejs or just lighttpd+php.

Status

Development

Interfaces

ROS2 nodes communicate over:

  • 1 GigE LAN or (possibly) wifi (camera1-camera2..N, pc-camera1..N, pc1-pc2..M)
  • within a single device

Notes:

  • image sensors, IMS (or GPS & IMU), any other sensors are attached to cameras via a custom interface or USB, with appropriate driver support.
  • normally cameras in the system are synced with a custom trigger cable - this is setup over network
  • any device attached to PC?

ROS2 on Zynq

Installation

TODO: Include meta-ros.git in elphel393 build system.

Include meta-ros to elphel393

  • Add path to bblayers.conf
  • Add to "IMAGE_INSTALL_append" of core-image-elphel393.bb:
packagegroup-ros2-world \

Workflow

Notes:

  • ROS2 for python populates /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/ so python scripts can live anywhere.
  • For command line apps, like ros2 ..., if AMENT_PREFIX_PATH is not set then:
OSError: Environment variable 'AMENT_PREFIX_PATH' is not set or empty
  • Useful examples (command line):
export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/usr

ros2 pkg list
ros2 node list
ros2 srv list
ros2 srv show std_srvs/Trigger
ros2 msg list
ros2 msg show std_msgs/String

Demos

talker-listener cpp

# terminal 1:
export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp talker

# terminal 2:
export AMENT_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
ros2 run demo_nodes_cpp listener

ROS2 on PC

Installation

Notes:

  • apt install ros-bouncy-desktop available in 18.04, n/a in 16.04
  • apt install ros-ardent-desktop available in 16.04

Workflow

  • ROS2 will get installed to /opt/ros/<name>, <name> = ardent, bouncy.
  • Terminal setup:
source /opt/ros/bouncy/setup.bash
or
source /opt/ros/bouncy/local_setup.bash
  • Create a workspace
  • Create some packages inside or clone - they have a vcs tool to clone all repos from a text file.
  • Install colcon
  • Then build with colcon
  • Packages will not get installed to /opt/ros/bouncy/... Instead they will stay in their folders.
  • To use a package:
source /opt/ros/bouncy/setup.bash
source ~/ros2_ws/some-package/install/local_setup.bash
ros2 pkg list
then run anything in this terminal

Notes

  • SROS is Secure ROS or something

removed python3-imaging from rosbag - everything builds but then not really working.

with ROS_USE_PYTHON3 = "yes" stopped at finding an appropriate python-pycrypto lib
