ROS2 support for rc_genicam_camera

[jmarsik]

Is there any plan to provide ROS2 version of this package rc_genicam_camera? There is a ROS2 version of rc_genicam_driver_ros called rc_genicam_driver_ros2, which means that rc_genicam_api is probably usable from ROS2 side as well.

We are currently not working on porting the rc_genicam_camera driver to ROS2. We will probably do it eventually, but I cannot tell you any date. You are right, rc_genicam_api is already available for ROS2, since we needed it for the rc_visard driver (i.e. rc_genicam_driver), which is already available for ROS2.

Hi,
I just wanted to add that I would be pleased to have ROS2 support as well. I'm working with an IDS camera, and the ROS1 camera node works perfectly. Thanks for the work.

We will eventually come round to that, but currently don't have a timeline.
Ports or PRs are also welcome ;-)
