Announcing DepthAI ROS 2 Kilted Driver Release for Luxonis OAK cameras

Big update for ROS developers!
We’ve just released new DepthAI ROS packages - now built for ROS 2 Kilted and powered by DepthAI V3. :tada:
Highlights include:
:small_blue_diamond: RVC4 support – works with new OAK4 devices
:small_blue_diamond: Streamlined NN creation & renamed parameters for cleaner configs
:small_blue_diamond: New RGBD & Pointcloud nodes for faster, colored pointclouds
:small_blue_diamond: Thermal node support for thermal-equipped devices
:small_blue_diamond: Improved Camera nodes with undistorted stream options
:small_blue_diamond: Experimental VIO node (RVC4 support coming soon!)
We’ve also refined socket/frame naming, simplified examples, and added updated Rviz configs.

Congrats on the release! Just a question - will DepthAI v3 be side-by-side installable on Noble with DepthAI v2? I’m asking because we’d like to run both Jazzy and Kilted on the same system…

We didn’t test it specifically but if you don’t source two distributions at the same time (which could cause a number of other errors) there shouldn’t be a problem

Is it planned to backport the V3 driver to Jazzy?

I’ve read that it’s not.
