    I recently purchased a TOF camera and was following the guide in here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/old-projects/voxl-hal3-tof-cam-ros. I was able to get a ROS connection and access the camera, but I couldn't get frames to appear. How can I get the frames and data to stream?

    System: Ubuntu 18.04
    ROS version: melodic

      Hi Daniel,
      That is a deprecated project, the tof sensor is now part of voxl-camera-server. If you connect the tof and run voxl-configure-cameras and select the correct option for your setup, it'll configure the camera server and, after a reboot, the tof data will be available in /run/mpa. After that, you can use voxl-mpa-to-ros to get the data in rosland if that's where you want it.
