Hi,

Right now, Like you have mentioned the usb_cam has source code for wet build (catkin build). you just need to do the following to build it from source. (Note: I assume you are using ROS hydro or Indigo, It should work on groovy as well may be you can try it). But all that said, here you go:

$ mkdir -p ~/catkin-ws/src $ cd ~/catkin-ws/src $ git clone https://github.com/bosch-ros-pkg/usb_cam.git $ cd .. $ catkin_make $ source ~/catkin-ws/devel/setup.bash after the above you can verify using .. $ roscd usb_cam roscore on a new terminal $ roscore and then in another new terminal $ rosrun usb_cam usb_cam_node

Make sure you have your camera connected, before running the above command!!! you view the captured image on rviz, $ rosrun rviz rviz

hope this helps. mk
