Crash on execution for mono_camera.launch: free() invalid pointer

[GuillaumeHauss]

Hi all,

I want to use your driver with a Mako U-130B (USB-V communication protocol).
However, it produces the following crash when I try to launch the mono_camera.launch script

starting api_.start()
*** Error in `/home/guillaume/catkin_ws/devel/lib/avt_vimba_camera/mono_camera_node': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fffe7c9e730 ***

I checked with the official Vimba Viewer, and the camera is detected and accessible (streaming is okay).
Do you have any idea what may cause that issue and how I can fix this?

Setup:
Ubuntu 16.04 64bits
ROS Kinetic
Vimba 2.1

Thank you very much for your help!
Guillaume

This node is still on Vimba 2.0. Can you check if it is working with this version?
If not, change the libraries in avt_vimba_camera/lib with the version that works for you. I hope that the API hasn't changed.

Had this same issue and just figured it out. Make sure all the parameters in the config file are correct (ID #, IP, etc). Fixed the problem for me.

[GuillaumeHauss]

But IP /ID # are not set in the cfg file, but in the launch file. Or maybe we do not have the same version of the node

[rachase]

Launch file, I mean.

Even with the new Vimba 3.1 API, the same problem happens. I've traced the call to the C API VmbStartup and can't really go further.
