Attach Cameras to a Shared Component Container

This example shows how to load two Gemini 330 Series camera components into one externally created ROS 2 component container.

Before starting the example, update the usb_port values in multi_camera_shared_container.launch.py to match your two cameras. The default values are 2-1 and 2-2.

ros2 launch orbbec_camera multi_camera_shared_container.launch.py

The example performs three steps:

1. Starts one multithreaded component container named shared_orbbec_container.
2. Includes the example-specific gemini_330_series_shared_container.launch.py once for each camera.
3. Passes attach_to_shared_component_container=true and the same component_container_name to both includes, so neither include creates its own container.

use_intra_process_comms=true enables intra-process communication for the loaded camera components. Keep every camera_name unique, and make sure the shared container is running before a camera component is loaded.

The package's main launch/gemini_330_series.launch.py is not modified by this example. The example-specific launcher mirrors its Gemini 330 Series parameters and adds only the component container selection controls needed for this demonstration.
