RealSense camera stuck on “connecting” (no image)
RealSense stuck connecting—check serial/logs and use safer node settings to stabilize.
This issue usually stems from either an incorrect serial number or a node crash.
- Double-check the camera serial number you entered during setup (must match exactly).
- Check the Docker logs. A common failure mode is
realsense2_camera_nodecrashing on startup with exit code-6due to aggressive defaults.
- Make the RealSense configuration more conservative. In
realsense.launch.py, set: initial_reset: Falseaccelerate_gpu_with_glsl: Falsergb_camera.color_format: RGB8enable_sync: False
This usually stabilizes the node so the camera can publish and the dashboard can display video.
