Kinect working, but not connection to freenect or openni
Hi all,
this seems to be a widespread problem, but even with all the proposed solutions I don't seem to get it to work:
I am trying to use a Microsoft Kinect v2 with ROS.
The camera is connected and I can stream the images using
rosrun kinect2_viewer kinect2_viewer
Therefore I concluded that the basic connection to the camera is working fine. Unfortunately when I try to connect to the camera using freenect
roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch
I don't seem to be able to get it to work, producing the following error message:
[ INFO] [1503322404.266304684]: No devices connected.... waiting for devices to be connected
I have also tried using openNI, which produces the same error message in the process.
I know this is a well discussed error in the community and I've tried various suggested solutions from reinstalling freenect and openNI respectively, applying a patch (as seen in: https://answers.ros.org/question/6056... ) and everything else that was suggested...
But so far nothing seemed to work! Still getting the same error about not finding the Kinect...
Any sort of pointer or hint in a direction is extremely appreciated! I'm running out of ideas (even for new ways to google the issue!)
Thanks in advance everyone!
P.S.: I am using ROS Indigo and Ubuntu 14.04 with a Kinect v2 connected to a USB 3.0 port
