Failed waiting for EventData on NEW_BUFFER_DATA event [-1011]

[alankwok97]

@liuxiangdi I am new to ROS language. How did you install the flir_camera_driver because I can't seem to find the instructions in the README file.

Many thanks.

Yes, for multicam this package has to be setup as Master-slave, otherwise there is no way to guarantee the sync between cameras.

Asked about this error from FLIR support team, and this is their answer:
error: Spinnaker: Failed waiting for EventData on NEW_BUFFER_DATA event [-1011]
"This error occurs when trying to retrieve an image from the buffer(RAM) while the buffer is empty."

thanks for your reply.
I try to use spinview for this two cameras at the same time, but I failed. If I do not use this package, writting code with official SDK, Is using Master-slave mode still the only way for stereo camera?

This code uses a software trigger for the cameras, so technically if you wanted you could modify this driver to do a software trigger on both your cameras. You'd have you dive in a bit to see whatall might to be changed. A couple lines to help might be:

spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver/src/capture.cpp

Line 894 in 15803f0

cams[MASTER_CAM_].trigger();

and

spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver/src/capture.cpp

Line 648 in 15803f0

// set only master to be software triggered

[liuxiangdi]

I tried another package https://github.com/ros-drivers/flir_camera_driver and got two videostream at same time (with out adapter).
Thanks again for giving me suggestion and that help a lot :)

@shahvi I know you do not have a GigE camera to test with, but could we at least add a try-catch for this? Spinview gracefully catches incomplete frames and ignores them and we should expect the same behavior here.

@atyshka could you please submit a PR.

[atyshka]

So... Tried adding a try-catch to this but there's another problem: after this error occurs, video cuts out for about a second. This isn't a good fix then and we'll have to get to the root of the problem. Spinview does not have this issue.

[harsco-jfernandez]

This worked for me.

Hi, I use one camera (BFS-PGE-31S4C-C), the same error occurred.

System Description
Camera Name and Model: BFS-PGE-31S4C-C
Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
Spinnaker Version: 2.2.0.48
ROS Version: Melodic

Computer details
Nvidia Jetson Xavier Development Kit
Processor: ARM 64 bit (v8.2)
RAM: 32 GB

Do the cameras work with SpinView?
Yes

Describe the bug
when I run roslaunch spinnaker_sdk_camera_driver acquisition.launch binning:=2 using root shell, log file as follows:

@atyshka We had the same issue with a setup for 2 cameras. Both cameras were initialized but after a second, the node would crash.

We have made the following modifications in this pull request : sonia-auv/provider_vision#22 This fixed the issue.

Note : we are running an older version (April 2020) of this driver.

[diwamanic]

Yes, for multicam this package has to be setup as Master-slave, otherwise there is no way to guarantee the sync between cameras.

@shahvi: Yes, I am also using two cameras, one RGB and IR. But, I am using this package only for RGB. I am running IR from an another package. Yet, I am getting the same error as this post. Any suggestions?

[ana-lan]

Asked about this error from FLIR support team, and this is their answer:
error: Spinnaker: Failed waiting for EventData on NEW_BUFFER_DATA event [-1011]
"This error occurs when trying to retrieve an image from the buffer(RAM) while the buffer is empty."

How to solve this issue? I am new to Ros and couldn't find a solution for this anywhere.
