Hi,

I installed the turtlebot from the ISO supplied by iheartengineering. I am able to run the keyboard teleoperation but unable to launch the kinect to view on the rviz.

I configured everything properly, the installation automatically detected the IP and assigned to the turtlebot. When I run

roslaunch turtlebot_bringup kinect.launch

I got

turtlebot@turtlebot:~$ roslaunch turtlebot_bringup kinect.launch
... logging to /home/turtlebot/.ros/log/935ee6ec-18f7-11e2-bafc-002163c42ffd/roslaunch-turtlebot-25851.log

This is almost certainly related to your Kinect for Windows. As far as I know, it is still really not supported very well on Linux, and certainly not using standard binaries from ROS repositories. The only chance you'd have would be to run modified source code for the Kinect drivers. If you are interested in doing this, check out @GermanUser and @PatrickMihelich on this thread.

Can you obtain/borrow a standard Xbox Kinect to test on?
