Hi, We have a problem with a "kinect for windows" under ros. The Kinect for windows works with "freenect-glview" but in ros with libfreenect, we are able to work with a kinect xbox 360 but it doesn't work with a "kinect for windows".

With dmesg, we were able to see on what port the kinect is connected. We use different laptops and it seems that for some of them, it's needed to modify some parameters for tlp (power parameters), otherwise kinect is always disconnected. And after this, it's ok to work with freenect-glview with kinect Xbox 360 and kinect for windows. But with ros, it seems that only kinect Xbox 360 works.

We tried with roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch, roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch. May be we need to use another command ?

Thanks for help

System: Ubuntu 13.04, hydro-desktop-full, libfreenect, openni2
