Followed the latest isaac ros 3.1 setup zed x wouldnt connect

Using latest ISAAC ROS 3.1 documentation following this guide: Isaac ROS ZED Setup — isaac_ros_docs documentation after doing everything the command: /usr/local/zed/tools/ZED_Explorer doesnt open the camera at all, ie it doesnt know a camera is connected at all. using latest jetpack 6 and jetson AGX ORIN Developer Kit

Hi @nir9

Thanks for your post.

As Isaac ROS ZED Setup — isaac_ros_docs documentation mentioned, ZED driver is required for ZED X or ZED X Mini.

If this is not done yet, please refer to Install the ZED Link driver. You need to download the correspoding ZED Link driver and install for your GMSL2 capture card. If it still doesn’t work, please check if the steps in GMSL2 troubleshooting can help.

Hi, the driver is installed, and working outside of the docker, inside the docker there are lots of issues first and foremost is the docker is unable to see any cameras available due to unavailable zed x daemon ie the docker doesn’t have access to this service for some reason .
So the zed is not opening and even picked up inside the docker .

Hi @nir9

Could you try this step insider the docker to source the built workspace and test again?

cd ${ISAAC_ROS_WS}/ && source install/setup.bash

Done that already, checked everything, please list the steps you want me to take at full, because I am sure I have followed all of them already .
The docker doesn’t have access to the zed_x daemon service although it says it started the systemd

Hi @nir9,

I got a chance to try zedx today. We already have link drivers installed on the jetson device. That is the only prerequsite we have before launching container. While launching container we added zed key (Step 4 in doc) which implicitly installs zed sdk inside container. When zed explorere is launched in docker, I saw the warning “Failed to connect to zed_x_daemon”. However, I’m able to get images from zedx even though I got warnings.

If you are unable to get images, please share your log.

Best,
Ahung
