Revision history [back]

That looks like perfectly normal output - you may not get any further output in the terminal if the driver is running properly.

You can verify that the driver is output point clouds by checking the /camera/rgb/points topic. To do that, in a separate terminal (while leaving the one the driver is running in open), you would run:

rostopic hz /camera/rgb/points

And that should output the rate at which the driver is publishing point clouds from the Kinect (likely 30Hz) (you may want to use rostopic list to see all of the topics the driver is publishing and select one of those - I may be slightly off on remembering what the topic that openni_camera publishes registered RGB data on).

If you get output from rostopic hz, you could view the points in rviz. To do that, follow the directions on the Diamondback version of the openni_camera docs (Section 4). Make sure you are on the Diamondback documentation by selecting diamondback at the top of the documentation.
