Revision history [back]

We recently had this issue with a new ASUS Xtion Pro Live we received recently. Since it shows the same serial number (idVendor 0x1d27, idProduct 0x0601), I believe they are the same devices.

Starting with the guess, that it's just a matter of the old OpenNI not providing the right driver for this new device, I was happy to find out that work on ROS support for OpenNI2 is already on its way: https://github.com/ros-drivers/openni2_camera

With (ROS) OpenNI2 compiled from source, I was able to get our device working out of the box. Hence I suggest, you give it a try as well!

Good luck!

PS: @Akin @dbworth There is new feature addition to OpenNI camera currently being tested, which makes the Xtions output a serial number. Have a look here: https://github.com/ros-drivers/openni_camera/pull/16
