Hello,

I am trying to run the wideanglecamera tutorial with Gazebo 6.7. The camera shows up under the insert menu and I can insert the sensor which then appears as a box in the GUI. However, when I hit Ctrl-T to list the topics, there is no ImageStamped topic to choose like there is if I insert a normal camera.

There are no errors in the terminal window from which I launched Gazebo.

Any thoughts on how I can debug this?

Thanks!
patrick

looking at the Changelog, the wide angle camera feature was added in gazebo 7. The tutorial needs to be updated to reflect this. It's actually in a branch and never got merged.

Thanks! I'll install Gazebo 7 and give it a try.

Just confirming that the wide angle camera works in Gazebo 7.

It also doesn't appear that the 'wideanglecamera' type is listed in the SDF options.
