Blackfly BFS-U3-04S2C-CS - No Cameras Detected

[civerachb-cpr]

I'm working on a robot with 2x Blackfly BFS-U3-04S2C-CS cameras connected to it, but the driver is not detecting either of them.

Running rosrun pointgrey_camera_driver list_cameras just prints:

No PointGrey cameras detected on this computer.

Note that you may need to restart udev and replug your camera, eg:
sudo service udev restart

I've modified the pointgrey udev rules to add the attributes for this camera:
ATTR{idVendor}=="1e10", ATTR{idProduct}=="4000", MODE="0666", GROUP="pgrimaging"
based on the output of udevadm info:

$udevadm info --attribute-walk /dev/bus/usb/004/002

Adding a SYMLINK+=[...] shows that the rule is being triggered.

Possibly related (possibly not?) when I try to run the driver, specifying the serial numbers for the left & right cameras shows that the serial numbers are being truncated:

[ERROR] [1600872764.137690069]: Reconfigure Callback failed with error: PointGreyCamera::connect Could not find camera with serial number: 1364217. Is that camera plugged in? | FlyCapture2::ErrorType 19 Failed to get the camera from the serial number.

but in my launch file I have:

with those args being passed to the camera nodelets' serial parameters. The leading 0s are being stripped off, as is the trailing B on the left camera's serial number. I'm not too worried about the leading 0s, but the trailing B seems important.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.

@civerachb-cpr those are Blackfly S cameras, they need to use the flir_camera_driver.

Ah, good to know!

I am getting this error:
No PointGrey cameras detected on this computer.

Note that you may need to restart udev and replug your camera, eg:
sudo service udev restart

I have checked the udev rules and they are correct, and I have downloaded the flir_camera_driver, but I am still getting the same error. is there anythng additionalo do to make it work?
