Primesense (Xtion pro live) support? Dev tips? #16

Closed sjobeek closed 9 years ago

sjobeek commented 9 years ago

I've got librekinect working with my Kinect, but I'd also love to use it with an Xtion pro live (primesense sensor) that I have sitting around.

Do you have any advice or suggestions for getting this working? I'm willing to experiment and hack around on the driver if I need to, though I'm quite a novice in this area.

I was able to modify the USB device table in kinect.c and succeeded in getting /dev/video0 to appear, and camorama even managed to display "primesense camera" in it's titlebar, but unfortunately the video was unable to display and just recieved an error.

I just tweaked here the USB_DEVICE to match the Xtion pro live signiture from lsusb:

/* -- module initialisation -- */
static const struct usb_device_id device_table[] = {
        {USB_DEVICE(0x1d27, 0x0601)},
        {USB_DEVICE(0x045e, 0x02bf)},
        {}
};

Any tips or direction you could give me to get this working would be appreciated! I'm willing to develop and contribute this back as a PR if I can figure it out.

For the Xtion pro live, I've seen that many have success using OpenNI2. Maybe give that a go.

I did in fact have success with OpenNI2 drivers on the Rasperry Pi 2, which seemed to be fast enough for ~27 FPS at full VGA resolution.

I definitely recommend that path for anyone else with an Xtion Pro Live.
