Hi, I'm trying to get kinect v1 to work on freenect for the last week. I've tried on odroid xu4, on laptop PC, on desktop PC, with ubuntu mate and bionic, with ros kinetic and melodic. After fighting on each setup I manage to get it working but in unstable way. I can run rosrun frenect_launch freenect.launch and rostopic hz /camera/rgb/image_raw OR rostopic hz /camera/depth/image_raw. It usually works for a few seconds to a couple of minutes. When I try to rostopic hz both messages at the same time it works for less time. The thing is, does anybody know a hardware/software setup that allows mes to work with kinect v1 on a stable fashion? Openni driver get the same problem. I've tested kinect with windows drivers and it works ok. thank!

I recently wrote an article about using Kinect 360 and RTAB-MAP ROS with Rasberry Pi 4, with some tweaks it does work now! Not sure if that can be applied to odroid xu4... https://www.hackster.io/dmitrywat/rgb-d-slam-with-kinect-on-raspberry-pi-4-ros-melodic-ace795
