#### USB cameras ROS 2 driver for Husarion robots

The `husarion-camera`` snap contains all the necessary software to bring the v4l2 camera ROS2 node up and running.

**Parameters**

The snap provides the following configurable parameters (`param name`: `default value`):

The `ros` contains the following keys:

* `ros.transport`: `udp` - Configures DDS transport. Options are `udp`, `shm`, `builtin` (or `rmw_fastrtps_cpp`), `rmw_cyclonedds_cpp`. Corresponding DDS XML files can be found in the `/var/snap/husarion-depthai/common` directory (custom FastDDS setups can also be created here).
* `ros.namespace`: `(unset)` - Namespace for all topics and transforms.

The `driver` contains the following keys:

* camera-params: `default` - Sets the camera parameters based on `/var/snap/husarion-camera/common/camera-params-<VALUE>.yaml`
* device-namespace: `v4l2camera` - Prefix to the camera node name and all topics.
* ffmpeg-params: `default` - Sets the FFMPEG parameters based on `/var/snap/husarion-camera/common/ffmpeg-params-<VALUE>.yaml`
* video-device: `/dev/video0` - Select the video device to use or set `auto` to automatically select the video device based on usb.id-vendor and usb-id-product.

The `usb` contains the following keys:

* `usb.id-vendor`: `(unset)` - USB camera vendor ID (get if from `lsusb`).
* `usb.id-product`: `(unset)` - USB camera product ID.

To set the parameters, use the snap set command, e.g.,

```
snap set husarion-camera driver.device-namespace=front-camera
