I just installed this ros package from following link and it was working fine…
http://wiki.ros.org/openni_launch
To install it please try following
sudo apt-get install ros-melodic-openni-launch
If you are working with ROS, you’ll not have any issue with that. After i installed that, kinect was listed in
lsusb
.
even if you are not working with ROS, openni driver may be able to help you.
As for my other problem, it was because two nodes publishing transformation for same tf link. After i stop one node, it was working fine.
Jetson nano handles pointcloudes well from kinect v1 and i was able visualize them on rviz… I was also able to run rtabmap_ros to create 3D map of my room with it. (It was my first time with rtabmap and really COOOOOOL !!!) ROS navigation also worked fine and i got some nice results with AMCL and ROS Control for differential drive robot.
i am running in 10w mode and even with my 5v 2.1A power bank everything working fine. just make sure you added a cooling fan. (I added a cheap 12v one) one time nano turned off i think because i forgot to turn on cooling fan and i ran it for some time. it was heated a lot. other than that, everything working fine and i’m really happy with jetson nano… I always wanted to get my hand on a jetson but they were out of my budget until now. Nvidia did a great job with this… Thank you Nvidia for making this available at this price… :)
I had one issue as sometimes when i visualize data in rviz like a pointcloud, nano stopped responding. if that’s a problem, just run rviz in an another machine connected to same ros master through wifi with all other processes running in jetson nano… But rtabmap 3d map generation visualized ok in rviz with a bit of lag.
If you need any help with any of there please ask me…
Sorry for the delayed reply.
