Hi,
 
Has anyone considered or worked on making the Blackfin a node for ROS?

Hi Alan,
 
It is on my radar. It would be great if someone else was doing this so the rest of us don't need to reinvent the wheel, so if someone has already built this node please respond.
 
If not, this may be something I get done before August if I can dig up the funding.
 
 
Cheers,

That's good to hear!
 
I'm sure a lot of ROS users would welcome support for the Blackfin camera!
 
I haven't even gotten ROS loaded and running yet, so it will be a while before I can be of any help.  But I'm anxious to see there is interest in it!
 
Thanks!

There is already a ROS node for stereo vision:

WOW!
 
I've been looking at their robots, camera and sensor listings, and for Blackfin, but didn't think to look for Surveyor.  Still not finding on ROS.org (I'm not real familiar there), but the Github link has a ZIP.  
 
Thanks!
