1 | initial version |
I have most probably exactly the same problem! Using a group tag and putting all nodes of one robot into a separated namespace works fine, but for some reason not for the kinect nodes. I can put them into a namespace though but then I am unable to pull any data from these topics. I cannot even echo the most basic topic like "/namespace/camera/depth/points".
I have checked the internal kinect management topics like "/namespace/openni_manager/bond" and it is working!

EDIT: It seems to be nothing else but a severe problem of the underlaying software driver of the kinect. As I realized even with the unchanged version of my launch file (without namespace) it is fairly often NOT working as well. And after several retries I observed the case that it was working even with my namespace changes. So now I am at the beginning again and looking for an answer. Will start with pulling the svn version of the kinect package and compile it from scratch, hopefully that will help. Cheers.
