Connor Novak edited this page May 5, 2017 · 1 revision

Clone the usb_cam repository into your catkin workspace

  • cd into your catkin_ws/src folder
  • run the command git clone https://github.com/olinrobotics/usb_cam.git

Do a catkin make

  • cd into your catkin_ws folder
  • run the command `catkin make'
    • If you are installing usb cameras for Edwin, you may need to install kinect drivers to get the edwin files to make properly. Follow these instructions on Sophie Li's blog (a former Edwin PM) to install the drivers.
      • Ask Kevin Zhang ([email protected]) or the current Edwin PM to share the nite.zip file in the Edwin Google Drive with you. Download the file, then run ./install.sh (Step 3 in Sophie's blog post).
