PhidgetSpatial 3/3/3 Basic 1042_0B Connection Issues - Melodic about phidgets_drivers

You can try building the noetic branch of this repo from source. It also compiles under melodic and includes a newer version of the libphidget22 library.

Hi Martin, sorry forgot to mention that I original used the noetic branch (worked fine on my machine running noetic). However, it didn't seem to pick up the Phidget on the Jetson. I noticed this comment on the PhidgetSpatial site for the MOT0109_0 version,

Due to parts and components going obsolete and becoming unavailable, the MOT0109_0 uses a different processor than the 1044_1B that is not supported under Phidget21. If you're using our old libraries you must upgrade to Phidget22 before you can make use of this Phidget.

I believe this was the issue for using the Melodic branch for the MOT0109_0 specifically. Either way, I've created my own node using python so all is good now.

Thanks.

I went back to this library and tried your suggestion Martin. It seems third time is the charm. Now everything is working on the Noetic branch...

Thanks.
