Merge pull request #63 from mikeferguson/checkerboards_that_work Make checkerboards actually generic
Merge pull request #62 from mikeferguson/chain_manager_state_fix make sure we get valid joint_states
make sure we get valid joint_states * invalid old state, wait for new message * fixes #61
Merge pull request #59 from saurabhbansal90/master Update led_finder.cpp
Update led_finder.cpp
additional tests on camera_info
fix build in kinetic

add tool to visualize bagfile
break out load_bag function for reuse
towards working checkerboards * unhack the checkerboard finder, so that points are in x/y only * add free_frames_initial_values parameter for setting initial offset of checkerboard frame
Merge pull request #52 from mikeferguson/melodic-backport backport changes from melodic-devel branch
fix OutrageousError This has apparently NEVER worked. The name that was being provided was the error block name, not the name of the parameter to limit.
add to_rpy tool The YAML file output by calibration represents angles in the internal axis-magnitude notation. RPY tends to be easier for people to understand and visualize.
add some comments to Camera3dModel In particular, a search for checkerboard should really turn up this important piece of code
fix test build/warning issues on 18.04
Merge pull request #50 from guilhermelawless/tf-buffer-member Make TF buffer a class member
make TF buffer a class member Fixes #48. Sleeping to wait for TFs is no longer needed and was removed.
