In case of not having right access to the repo, the following errors turn up:

You need access to https://github.com/AI-Gruppe/ai_omniscope-v2-communication_sw
I think @bjoekeldude can give you access

[MaxClerkwell]

Can this be done without inviting him into the organization?
Should this code be public, @dominicpoeschko @NP199, or is there a reason it is in our private repos?

[MaxClerkwell]

I added @R-Abbasi as an outside collaborator to this specific repo. This is just a temporary workaround and we need to find a way to precompile this as a library and make it available.

[NP199]

We never specified if we should open source the code for the communication so we didn`t.
We decide to postpone the decission to open source it or not @bjoekeldude.

[MaxClerkwell]

After a discussion last friday, it has been decided, that https://github.com/AI-Gruppe/ai_omniscope-v2-communication_sw will not be public at any point. There will be a serious effort in the last week of november to move the device handling out of this repo and make it available via a .dll or .so.

Anyway, this seems to be a bigger issue, than just a few lines of code. Since that will be needed for OmniView_2 as well, this has to be done at some point.

@odinthenerd, @dominicpoeschko and I will look into this end of november 2023, and decide on a timeline for this migration.

@DonNagual will be working on a prototype implementation, starting at the end of this month.
