Camera Server Aborts
-
voxl camera server is aborting itself, what can be the issue. I was running my ros package on the drone and also using ros mpa package and then suddenly all the topics vanished.
when I restarted the drone the camera starts for some time and them stops showing stalled missing.
I am running tof at 15 fps also tried running at 5 but still the same issue. hires and tracking at default fps that it is configured with.voxl2:/$ voxl-version

VOXL SDK that is more than one year old, please upgrade to the latest 1.3.5.
If you are not able to upgrade, then please try the following:
- reduce the width/ height of hires camera large video stream to 3840x2160, if that does not help, reduce the FPS of hires camera to 25Hz
- disable snapshot if you are not using that feature
- try starting
voxl-camera-servermanually and assign upper cores 2-7 to the process, which helps with stability- stop camera server running in the background (if applicable) :
systemctl stop voxl-camera-server - run camera server and assign cpu affinity using taskset :
taskset -c 2-7 /usr/bin/voxl-camera-server
- stop camera server running in the background (if applicable) :
