🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. ROS2 nodes not found:

    source /opt/ros/foxy/setup.bash
source install/setup.bash

  2. Camera not accessible:

    ls /dev/video*
chmod 666 /dev/video0

  3. YOLO model not found:

    # Model will auto-download on first run
python3 -c "from ultralytics import YOLO; YOLO('yolov8n.pt')"

  4. Face recognition database missing:

    # Train with sample faces
python3 test_face_recognition.py
