Difficulties controlling Xbox Kinect with kinect_aux [closed]
I am interested in controlling an Xbox Kinect motor from ROS using kinect_aux.
However, when running rosrun kinect_aux kinect_aux_node i get the following message:
[ERROR] [1386112406.142298259]: No valid aux device found
After looking at lsusb output I get the following:

It would appear that the XBOX NUI Motor driver is not running.
I am using a XBOX Kinect model 1473, and, after some reading, I think the openni driver isn't fully functional with the 1473 model of the Kinect.
Is there some kind of work around to get kinect_aux working?
Hi,i have the same problem of yours and the same kinect model (1473). Did you find a way to get kinect aux working??? Thanks
I was never able to get aux working with the Kinect Model (1473). I ended up picking up a used Xbox Kinect ( model 1414 ) for about $20 and using it instead.
