Openni2 latest asus firmware version support

[antondim]

Hello, using lsusb , I can see that my Asus Primesense's firmware version is 0.01 (very old).

Q1 : First of all, is this really the firmware version ( bcdDevice property )

Q2: If yes, which is the latest firmware version that I could upgrade to and will not have problem with "openni2.launch" ?

Reason for firmware upgrade:

• Everything is working smoothly but there is an offset in pointcloud which is getting bigger. The further you go , the bigger the offset gets. Tried both default calibration .yaml files and custom ones that were exported through camera_calibration package. Maybe the firmware update, could fix this.

How I check the offset:

• Laser data are getting compared visually with camera's pointcloud data

Thank you

@antondim Thanks for asking.

This repo hosts a OpenNI2 wrapper software for ROS, not OpenNI2 itself, which is https://github.com/OpenNI/OpenNI2. Your question doesn't appears to be more about OpenNI2 itself? If that's correct then I'd encourage you to ask in the upstream.

That said, firmware 0.01 sounds very old indeed. And for openni2.launch, which is a config file for the executable in the ROS wrapper, I guess the wrapper is meant to be agnostic to the firmware version as much as possible.

Closing for now. Feel free to continue posting ROS wrapper question.
