groovy kinect No Image received

edit

In order to properly debug this problem more information is required. Please post information on what version/release of ROS you are running as well as a full list of the launch files along with any error messages.

Looking at the original information. So far here are my guess as to what might be wrong:

• I agree that it looks like the 3d_sensor.launch was not run. However I bet that when the 3dsensor.launch is run there is an error message that goes flying by that you are missing. Please scroll through the window and post a screenshot of any red/error text when launching.
• Also another cause might be that you just have a revision of ROS that was broken, at one point in groovy I encountered a bug which you could not get camera data caused by openni, the solution is to do an apt-get update on ROS.
• Are you running rviz remotely on desktop or locally on the turtlebot? Do you have your ROS IP set correctly? This might also be a problem.

So, given all the previous comments, try the following solution :

go to avin2 drivers.

Unpack, select the ones for your platform. Then use the "./uninstall" script first. Then "./install".

Try to launch again ""roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch depth_registered:=true". In another terminal, do a "rostopic list", and /camera/rgb/image_color should have appeared.

You are now free to quit everyting, and use your own application :

roslaunch turtlebot_bringup 3dsensor.launch

then in another terminal

roslaunch turtlebot_rviz view-robot.launch

Let us know !

Ps : the solution comes from this topic

Hi there

view-robot.launch only initializes rviz with the proper configuration to visualize Turtlebot's data. It does not start any of the sensors or other services.

If you want to visualize the images coming from the kinect, make sure that 3dsensor.launch is running:

roslaunch turtlebot_bringup 3dsensor.launch

and then you can launch view_robot.launch

I hope this helps.
