Dear ROS community,

We are proud to announce a new version of our ROS node for the Raspberry Pi camera module here: https://github.com/UbiquityRobotics/raspicam_node .

(See our previous announcement here: Raspberry Pi Camera Node)

Some new features of raspicam_node:

Support for raw_images in addition to the hardware compressed images
Better pre-made calibration files for Camera V1 and V2
Cleaner shutdown due to better memory management (no escalating to SIGTERM)
Add parameter for selecting the camera id (Compute Module Only)
Make save button in camera calibration work, by saving/loading from writeable location after package one
Less memory allocations
Fix bug where dynamic_reconfigure defaults overrode rosparams
Less logging noise
Delete a lot of old code and fix gcc warnings

Contributions and Bug Reports through Github Pull Requests and Issues are welcome.

Thank you to everyone who contributed!

Rohan

Hello,
I am using this package happily. Could you add a feature, where if we are capturing at 90fps, but able to broadcast 10fps only, with the image info topic? I have attempted to use throttle it down, but then it got out of sync with the image info making it unusable.
Best Regards,
C.A.
