Hello @florisvb, which camera model do you have? Which connection, USB or Ethernet? Are you using ACE2 or ACE model?

Hi,

I tested today with a medical USB daA1600-60uc camera and it was working. Then I tried with a different USB camera, model acA2440 and you are right. DeviceUserID is not available. The roslaunch pylon_camera pylon_camera_node.launch will still work because takes the first available camera, but we can see:

[ INFO] [1602494514.497530781]: Found camera with DeviceUserID N/A: acA2440-35um
[ WARN] [1602494514.769154152]: No User Set Is selected, Camera current setting will be used

Through Pylon Viewer (downloadable from Basler website) I could see that the Device User ID under Device Control changed, but not the camera name in the list as it changed with the Dart camera. I will continue working on this topic and we will keep you posted about the issue.

Hi,

I was speaking with Basler and got the solution. After rewriting the device user id, you need to reset the camera (take out the USB, plug in again). Then the correct name is displayed and can be used.

Step 1: change the name

rosrun pylon_camera write_device_user_id_to_camera test

Step 2: reset the camera (usb reconnect)

Step 3: set the device_user_id

rosparam set /pylon_camera_node/device_user_id test

Step 4: start the camera node

rosrun pylon_camera pylon_camera_node
