SITL with Gazebo and camera feed

Blue Robotics Software

Hi

I’ve setup Gazebo7 and ROS kinetic on Ubuntu 16.04 following this tutorial:
GitHub - patrickelectric/bluerov_ros_playground: Scripts to help BlueRov integration with ROS .This works perfectly, but I need video feed in order to test some software I’m developing. Is there anyway I can subscribe to the videofeed using Gstreamer or other software?

Best regards
Mads

Hi,

All connection packages with the real ROV will create a video topic that can be used.
Also, if you want to grab it without ROS, take a look in the video class.

Im trying your example called gazebo teleop (GitHub - patrickelectric/bluerov_ros_playground: Scripts to help BlueRov integration with ROS) and having some trouble.
