AE400 SDK with ROS

[ranjitkathiriya]

Hello there,

I have installed AE400 and built it from the given link.

https://github.com/lips-hci/ae400-realsense-sdk/releases/tag/AE400_v1.0.0.3_rs2.36.0

I have followed instructions from the below link:

https://github.com/lips-hci/ae400-realsense-sdk#installation-on-ubuntu-linux

This is the screen for my real sense-viewer working on 20.04 ubuntu.

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros

Now, when I am building ROS wrapper I am getting issues with version compatibility as the link in the above link has the latest version of real sense SDK and I think AE400 is still working on real sense 2.36. Can you please! help to solve it.

Hi Ranji,

You need to compile from source code in order to use the latest version of realsense SDK.

I did it successfully on Ubuntu 18.04, but not fully succeeded on Ubuntu 20.04.(not fully support for now)
I was able to run “capture” & “point-cloud” samples whereas “realsense-viewer” was not responding.
This means API works fine and the cause of viewer not responding is just UI compatibility or UI integrates lower level functionalities. ROS wrapper basically brings in RGBD streaming, so you can give a try.

Known issues:

realsense-viewer is hung or not responding when running v1.0.0.5 with RS v2.45.0~2.49.0
(Ref: https://github.com/lips-hci/ae400-realsense-sdk)

** be cautious of FW & SDK compatibility**

Can you please! tell us when the full proper functional SDK for ubuntu 20.04 will be ready? that will be fully compatible with the latest real sense versions?

You need to compile from source code in order to use the latest version of realsense SDK.

After compiling from source do I have to change in realsense files?

I think find_package(realsense2 2.50.0) https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros/blob/development/realsense2_camera/CMakeLists.txt I think we have to change this and If I am building with latest realsense-ros then It iw throwing me an error.
