Kinect v2 openni_launch freenect_launch No devices connected, waiting for devices to be connected
I am using Kinect v2 on ROS Indigo, Ubuntu 14.04. I know this is a very common problem but I have tried majority of the solutions here. Whether I try opennilaunch or freenectlaunch, I always get No devices connected, waiting for devices to be connected. Protonect and NiViewer2 works fine though. Does anyone have any idea?

If you are using kinect One(Kinect v2), you should follow the instruction properly stated on this link. link text Kinect One, does not support freenect. You need libfreenect 2 for that.

Hi animez4me, I have the same problem as you. Also with Kinect v2, ROS Indigo and Ubunu 14.04! I'm already using libfreenect2!
Have you found a solution? Can you help me?

As bonzi said, you wont be able to launch openni or freenect with Kinect v2. I ended up using iai_kinect2 which uses libfreenect2.
