Hi, I have a kinnect v1 connected to my desktop pc running lubuntu 16.04 I've installed freenect-launch and openni-launch package.

I run

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch depth_registration:=true

or

roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch depth_registration:=true

on a second terminal I run

rostopic hz /camera/rgb/image_raw

and start getting 30 hz measurement. On a third terminal I run

rostopic hz /camera/depth_registered/image

and once I get to measurement message I get "no new messages" on both, 2nd and 3rd terminal. I don't get any message on 1st terminal, but I don't get any messages. I have to close all laucnhs unplug kinnect and replug, then relaunch everything, but the same test get the same result.

Is there a way to test my kinnect cammera on linux or windows? I would like to know if it is a sensor problem or if it is a driver problem.

Thank

First, it is recommended to use only one of the libraries/drivers, and I suggest libfreenect.

So try to use only libfreenect and view in RVIZ to test the kinect.

Launch the freenect and open the RVIZ with rviz.

After open RVIZ:

  1. Fixed Frame: camera_link
  2. Add in "add" other visualization types: axes and point cloud
  3. Set Topic = / camera / depth_registered / points

Ok, I remove all freenect and openni driver. Then just install ros-kinect-freenect-launch and try what you suggest, That works ok. But freenect randomly die after a couple of minutes

You remove all freenect driver? I dont know if it is necessary but I use at least libfreenect-dev and ros-kinetic-freenect-launch when seeing rviz.
