Hello,
I have problem in using POINT GREY FIREFLY MV FMVU-13S2C digital camera to work on Ubuntu 11.04.
This is the version of ubuntu.
adrian@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04
Codename: natty
As far as I know, POINT GREY FIREFLY MV FMVU-13S2C uses IEEE1394 interface to transfer data with computer. So I downloaded the Coriander – the linux GUI for IEEE1394/Firewire cameras.
However, when I plugged in the camera and launched the coriander, this error appears:
Warning: could not find a Digital Camera on the bus.
Please check that:
-the cables are properly set
-the devices on the bus are properly powered
-your camera is compliant with the Digital Camera specs (see http://www.1394ta.org).
Then I run the command “lsusb”:
adrian@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 1e10:2002 Point Grey Research, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0765:5001 X-Rite, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Apparently, the first output is the camera.
Then I guess maybe I need to configure udev to work with camera. So I run “sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/10-pointgrey.rules” and type in the following text.
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1e10", SYSFS{idProduct}=="2002", GROUP="plugdev"
Then I restart the udev by “sudo restart udev” and restart coriander again. But the same error still appears.
Then I opened the official website of the POINT GREY and downloaded the FlyCapture2 software. Surprisingly, This software is able to recognize the camera. Why coriander cannot recognize camera? camera1394 ros node also cannot recognize camera.
Can any help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advance!
