========================= Isaac ROS ZED Setup ========================= .. figure:: :ir_lfs:`` :width: 200px :align: center ZED cameras require the following to be able to publish data to ROS 2 topics: 1. ZED SDK (Installed by ``Dockerfile.zed``) 2. ``zed-ros2-wrapper`` (Cloned in Step 1 of Setup Instructions) 3. ZED X driver (Installed by user on host machine in Step 3 of Setup Instructions) Camera Compatibility -------------------- All cameras supported by the `zed ros2 wrapper `_ work with Isaac ROS. ================= ============== ZED Model SQA Testing? ================= ============== ZED 2i ✓ ZED X ✓ ZED 2 ✗ ZED ✗ ZED Mini ✗ ZED X Mini ✗ ================= ============== Setup Instructions ------------------ .. note:: This tutorial assumes that you have set up your development environment by following the instructions :doc:`here `. 1. Clone the ``isaac_ros_common`` and ``zed-ros2-wrapper`` repositories: .. code:: bash cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src && \ git clone :ir_clone:`` && \ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-ros2-wrapper .. note:: ``${ISAAC_ROS_WS}`` is defined to point to ``/ssd/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev/`` or ``~/workspaces/isaac_ros-dev/``. 2. If you are using ZED X or ZED X Mini refer to the appropriate `stereolabs setup guide `_. .. note:: You do **not** need to install the ``ZED SDK`` because this is done by ``Dockerfile.zed``. .. note:: You must install the ``ZED driver``. 3. Plug in the USB cable of your ZED camera before launching the Docker container in the next step. 4. Configure the container created by ``isaac_ros_common/scripts/run_dev.sh`` to include ``Dockerfile.zed``. Create the ``.isaac_ros_common-config`` file in the ``isaac_ros_common/scripts`` directory: .. code:: bash cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common/scripts && \ touch .isaac_ros_common-config && \ echo CONFIG_IMAGE_KEY=ros2_humble.user.zed >> .isaac_ros_common-config 5. Launch the Docker container. .. code:: bash cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/src/isaac_ros_common && \ ./scripts/run_dev.sh ${ISAAC_ROS_WS} This rebuilds the container image using ``Dockerfile.zed`` in one of its layered stage. It takes some time for rebuilding. 6. After the container image is rebuilt and you are inside the container, you can run ``/usr/local/zed/tools/ZED_Explorer`` to check that the ZED camera is connected. .. code:: bash /usr/local/zed/tools/ZED_Explorer If everything is working as expected, you should see something similar to the following: .. figure:: :ir_lfs:`` :align: center
