Hi all; I m experiencing problems when connecting two RGB-D sensors to the same PC, using the same USB controller (two Asus Xtion, 1 Xtion and one Orbbec astra, etc). Both are attached to the same USB controller (see arrows):

 tekniker@tekniker-mountain-2:~$ lsusb

tekniker@tekniker-mountain-2:~$

When I launch one (openni2_launch, astra_launch) the other that is already running automatically dies (I launch both of them specifying their camera ID):

[ INFO] [1509630757.804814665]: Initializing nodelet with 4 worker threads.

And

log file: /home/tekniker/.ros/log/15d2617e-bfd5-11e7-bf2b-94659ca95c36/camera-driver-2*.log

Does anyone have a clue of what is happening?. It seems both of them are trying to access to the same nodelet... is there a way to solve this?

Thank you in advance, Best, Alberto

The reason for the shutdown:

Reason given for shutdown: [new node registered with same name]

You could create a new launch file that includes the two launch files, but puts them in different namespaces (check ns-argument in the include statement.
