Problem with openni2_camera, Primesense not detected.

edit

Hi,

I am trying to access the rgdb information of a Primesense sensor. I have ros-hydro-openni2-* installed using sudo apt-get and it previously worked just fine with the following command: rosrun openni2_camera openni2_camera_node but now when I run this command this is what I get:

~device_id is not set! Using first device.
[ INFO] [1409576381.725333109]: No matching device found.... waiting for devices. Reason: std::string openni2_wrapper::OpenNI2Driver::resolveDeviceURI(const string&) @ /tmp/buildd/ros-hydro-openni2-camera-0.1.3-0precise-20140720-0503/src/openni2_driver.cpp @ 623 : Invalid device number 1, there are 0 devices connected.

I used to be able to access the rgbd information and the topics using exactly the same command about a month ago. I dont know if there has been an update which has led to this. I have ubuntu 12.04 and ROS hydro installed.

I get the same error whether the Primesense sensor is plugged in or not and lsusb doesnt detect this device. I have tried setting the UsbInterface=0 in /etc/openni2/PS1080 as suggested in one of the posts but it didn't help. I would really appreciate your help on this.

Any suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance!
