Cannot configure O3D303

[graugans]

Can you please provide the version of your firmware on the camera. For example dumped by 3d3xx-dump

[zfxw0206]

It is "O3D3xx FW 1.3.1001".

I tried to run o3d3xx-dump, but got the error:
Failed to dump camera configuration:
XMLRPC call timed out

A couple of things... First, as @graugans says, please make sure you are using a supported software stack. IFM firmware + libo3d3xx + o3d3xx-ros. The main README's for both libo3d3xx and o3d3xx-ros have software compatibility matrices that will allow you to trace to the proper stack.

Now for the specific issues...

When I want to use ROS to configure the O3D303 camera by using "roslaunch o3d3xx config.launch infile:=/home/administrator/wspace/src/o3d3xx/json/ex_camera2.json", I always get the message:
[ INFO] [1458240896.994179177]: status=-9014
[ INFO] [1458240896.994316742]: msg=XMLRPC value out of range

Likely some value you are setting in the file exceeds a valid range. What did you change? I'd start there. Also, you can look at the libo3d3xx logs (they go to /tmp by default) to get more info.

I also tried to use "rosservice call /o3d3xx/camera/Dump > /tmp/camera.json" to get the current setting, do nothing and run "roslaunch o3d3xx config.launch infile:=/tmp/camera.json" I will get the message:
[ INFO] [1458241148.110545217]: status=-1
[ INFO] [1458241148.110678292]: msg=(1): expected object or array

The output from rosservice is not valid json. The return values from the service call are annotated by the rosservice variable names. You either have to edit the file so it is actually valid JSON or just use the libo3d3xx equivalent command line tools to the rosservice calls. Those are o3d3xx-config and o3d3xx-dump.

I tried to run o3d3xx-dump, but got the error:
Failed to dump camera configuration:
XMLRPC call timed out

Sounds to me your network setup is odd. The XMLRPC timeouts are coming directly from libcurl. Is your routing table correct? Are you on a noisy network (e.g., Wifi)? Anything else non-standard or wierd we should be aware of when helping you troubleshoot this?

Solved in #47. Thank you!
