We're excited to announce the release of depthai-ros v3.2.1! This update brings the latest improvements from the DepthAI SDK, expanded hardware support for RVC4 devices, and important fixes that make building ROS 2 applications even easier.
The release is now available for ROS 2 Humble, Jazzy, and Kilted.
What's New
🚀 Updated to DepthAI v3.6.1
This release upgrades the underlying DepthAI library from v3.2.0 to v3.6.1, bringing several new capabilities and improvements to the ROS ecosystem.
Some of the highlights include:
Automatic Calibration enabled by default
- AutoCalibration is now turned on out of the box, helping deliver optimal depth quality without requiring manual configuration.
USB support for RVC4 devices
- RVC4-based devices can now communicate over USB, making development and deployment significantly more flexible.
Magnetometer support on RVC4
- Applications can now access magnetometer data from supported RVC4 devices, enabling richer sensor fusion and navigation use cases.
âš¡ Improved IPC Performance
We've fixed issues related to zero-copy IPC communication, improving reliability and performance for applications that rely on high-throughput inter-process image transport.
Supported ROS 2 Distributions
The v3.2.1 release is available for:
- ROS 2 Humble
- ROS 2 Jazzy
- ROS 2 Kilted
