2.3. Registration Script (Required)

To allow the Orbbec cameras to be recognized correctly on Linux, install the udev rules.

2.3.1. Binary Installation

sudo cp /opt/ros/$ROS_DISTRO/share/orbbec_camera/udev/99-obsensor-libusb.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

2.3.2. Build from Source

cd  ~/ros2_ws/src/OrbbecSDK_ROS2/orbbec_camera/scripts
sudo bash install_udev_rules.sh
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

This step is mandatory for Linux users.

Notes: If this script is not executed, open the device will fail due to permission issues. You need to run the sample with sudo (administrator privileges).
