Has this been taken care of yet? I know IMU has been taken care of in pr #13 , but has anybody done the Bumblebee2 implementation? If not i can submit a pull request because i already have it done on my own model

Our co-op student made some initial progress simulating the monocular camera, but then got distracted working on getting the real robot's compass working solidly. If you've got bumblebee done, yes, I would definitely like to look!

Note that all of the Jackal packages are overdue for a release. We're hoping to have a reasonably stable set out for the new year.

I dont believe the package is released as a debian yet, but here is the link to the source: https://github.com/jhu-lcsr/lcsr_camera_models . Im not exactly sure about how you guys would want this implemented; i did see that you guys forked imu_filter_madgwick just for the sake of packaging everything together.. would you want to do the same here?

Fantastic— that's terrific to have a package like that. We had been planning on building something similar, but can likely use your work as-is.

We would definitely need debians released; ideally, the repo would be moved to a community ROS org such as ros-simulation or ros-visualization. This way if there was ever a problem with maintenance of the package, it would be possible for one of the org admins to jump in and help out.

Thats how it looks. Publishes left and right camera images and even has launch files incase you wanted to use stereo_image_proc.

I will try to contact the maintainer again about putting this into a ros package

As there is no mast/bridge/arch for a Jackal, and all other additions have been added, this issue will be closed
