I battled with the kinect and never gave up! I have a "working" implementation as a .img image and some code in https://github.com/TimboInSpace/Armin/ . It eventually outputs an 8 bit depthimage as a 16-bit mm-encoded ROS depthimage. The intention was kinect --> raspi --> laptop
As far as I can tell, it's one of the few working ROS projects using kinect with Rasperry Pi 1 Model B+ My implementation uses the librekinect driver, but has big limitations: 6fps frame rate 640x40 resolution Connection often drops for 1s periods
Try it out. I just bought a raspberry pi 2, which can probably handle OpenNI, so I'll be trying that next as my current implementation is sub-par
