Using old openni and included mary into linda launch files #28

Closed cdondrup closed 10 years ago

cdondrup commented 10 years ago

The new openni wrapper did not work reliable enough and not as expected.

When creating the files I simply forgot mary. This has been added now.

I'm afraid the new drivers have problems with 2 cameras as well; there isn't much that can be done about it. We managed to find a working combination primarily by making sure the cameras were on separate USB buses, but even then sometimes one of the cameras stops broadcasting depth images. However I think it's working fine with just one camera. If you use the old drivers you risk running into some old problems we had at the beginning of the project (see https://github.com/strands-project/scitos_drivers/issues/45)

You are of course absolutely right. We mainly agreed to use the old drivers for a demo tomorrow (where we won't use the point cloud) because we didn't want to use anything we haven't really tested yet. Will switch to the new drivers afterwards.

We are finalising the second PC in the robot, so then we have two PCs for two cameras.
