We are trying to get the Intel Realsense D435i to work on our Raspberry Pi with the Raspbian OS and ROS Melodic.
After we configured our Raspberry Pi with Raspbian and installed ROS Melodic on it, we installed the realsense-ros package on our Raspberry Pi. When we connect our Realsense camera to the Raspberry and run the following command:
$ roslaunch realsense2_camera rs_camera.launch
We get the following error:
error: Time is out of Dual 32-bit range
We get some ros topics from the camera but they don't publish any data. Also not all of the topics are displayed. When we plug the camera in to a pc it works fine.
We already googled it and tried the following:
full clean and rebuild of catkin workspace
update and upgrade of all ros packages
delete ros_comm package
But non off the above worked for us.
Is there anybody who has any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Can we connect Microsoft's azure Kinect DK camera with Nvidia Jetson TX2 board DK together? Do these development kits support each other? Can we work on them?
Not yet, but we are working on it. Is should be ready soon though.
You can see our ARM proposal here: https://github.com/microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK/blob/develop/proposals/ARM-support.md
I bought a dell 7559 laptop for deep learning. I got ubuntu 16.04 installed on it but I am having trouble getting caffe and tensorflow on it. The laptop used Nvidia Optimus technology to switch between gpu and cpu to save battery usage. I checked the bios to see if I can set it to use only gpu but there is no option for it. Using bumblebee or nvidia-prime didnt work either. I now have ubuntu 16 with mate desktop environment it is preventing from getting the black screen but didnt help with the cuda issue. I was able to install the drivers and cuda but when I build caffe and tensorflow they fail saying that it didnt detect a gpu. And I wasnt able to install opengl. I tried using several versions of nvidia drivers but it didnt help. Any help would be great. thanks.
I think Bumblebee can enable you to run Caffe/Tensorflow in GPU mode. More generally, it also allows you to run other CUDA programs on a laptop with Optimus technology .
When you have installed Bumblebee correctly (tutorial: Bumblebee Wiki for Ubuntu ), you can invoke the Caffe binary by pepending optirun before the caffe binary. So it goes like the following:
optirun ../../caffe-master/build/tools/caffe train --solver=solver.prototxt
This works for the NVidia DIGITS server as well:
optirun ./digits-devserver
In addition, Bumblebee also works on my dual-graphics desktop PC (Intel HD 4600 + GTX 750 Ti) as well. The display on my PC is driven by the Intel HD 4600 through the HDMI port on the motherboard. The NVidia GTX 750 Ti is only used for CUDA programs.
In fact, for my desktop PC, the "nvidia-prime" (it's actually invoked through the command line program prime-select) is used to choose the GPU that drives the desktop. I have the integrated GPU connect to the display with the HDMI port and the NVidia GPU through a DisplayPort. Currently, the DisplayPort is inactive. The display signal comes from the HDMI port.
As far as I understand, PRIME does so by modifying /etc/X11/Xorg.conf to make either the Intel integrated GPU or the NVidia GPU the current display adapter available to X. I think the PRIME settings only makes sense when both GPUs are connected to some display, which means there need not be an Optimus link between the two GPUs like in a laptop (or, for a laptop with a Mux such as Dell Precision M4600, the Optimus is disabled in BIOS).
More information about the Display Mux and Optimus may be found here: Using the NVIDIA Driver with Optimus Laptops
Hope this helps!
I'm now trying to set up my kinect version 2
I installed Microsoft sdk and usb extension board (Renseas 720202)
Question is, Kinect can be detected before driver of usb board install.
In Kinect verifier program, usb controller are not compatible but can get
color image with low fps.

After install driver of usb board, I get nothing...

http://ppt.cc/Cw29u
I search that intel and Renaseas chips are compatible with Kinect v2.
What can I do? Thanks
update
In the end, I change computer which use intel chipset on mother board to solve the problem.
This programming guide implies that this is possible, so I figure what the heck.
Right now, though, it doesn't work.
Host OS is Vista 64-bit, VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 is running Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.
Installed Software on the VM:
Visual C# 2010 Express
Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime
Microsoft Server Speech Recognition Language - Kinect
Microsoft Speech Platform SDK
Kinect for Windows SDK Beta
I plug in the Kinect, the device is recognized by the VM, then I run the Sample Shape Game and it doesn't recognize the device. It says "Plug in the Kinect and try again" which turns out to be error 0x80080014, which leads to
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/kinectsdknuiapi/thread/4da8c75e-9aad-4dc3-bd83-d77ab4cd2f82/
which gives me two things to look at:
is it plugged in with the special cable? yes
are all 4 entries in the Device Manager? no
In the Device Manager, I see a "Microsoft Kinect" group containing Microsoft Kinect Audio Control, Microsoft Kinect Camera and Microsoft Kinect Device, but there is nothing under "Sound, video and game controllers" other than VMware VMaudio. "Kinect USB Audio" should be there.
I'm guessing that there is some further twiddling I have to do with the VMWare USB / hardware options (whatever that tray with the USB / CD / HD / floppy etc icons is called) or some deft combination of rebooting and (un)plugging, but I'm almost out of enthusiasm.
Any ideas? TIA
EDIT: I realized that I had some lingering drivers on my host (Vista) system from OpenKinect. After removing them, I can no longer see the Kinect at all in the VM. Hmm.
There is this on read.me
Virtual machines: You must run applications built with the Kinect for Windows SDK Beta in a native Windows environment. Kinect for Windows applications cannot run in a virtual machine, because the Microsoft Kinect drivers and this SDK Beta must be installed on the computer where the application is running.
just to share that (not really understood how) VM Workstation 8 running in a host win 7 x64 with guest OS Ubuntu 10.04 sucessfully detected and installed Kinect drivers.
I was able to test it with libfreenect (OpenKinect Project) http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started#Manual_Build_on_Linux
best regards,
I'm late to the party, but we've been running and developing for the Kinect with Windows 7 running under VMWare under Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
I'm not a Computer Scientist, but I thought Turing showed that a universal Touring Machine was basically the same as physical hardware. I've had Distributed COM+ running on 3 or 4 VM's on the same physical hardware, but somehow the Kinect device is different? I don't buy that at all.
The most recent version of Microsoft Kinect for Windows (v1.6, possibly slightly earlier versions) in combination with the "Kinect for Windows" hardware does work inside a virtual machine. I run this setup on a MacBook Pro, Parallels 7 and Windows 7.
Note that a Kinect for Xbox does not work inside a virtual machine.
This page from Microsoft says that the "Kinect for Windows" device should work in a VM, but that the "Kinect for XBOX" does NOT work.
First of all you just need two Things to be installed:
libfreenect
libusb
after that you should set three flags to 0x02 at the line
typedef enum {FREENECT_DEVICE_MOTOR = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_CAMERA = 0x02,FREENECT_DEVICE_AUDIO = 0x02,} freenect_device_flags;
Inside the headerfile located at /usr/local/include/libfreenect libfreenect.h but you will lose the ability to control the movement and the the microphone usage will be disabled so don't even try to access them or your device might get damaged after that you should also set
#define PKTS_PER_XFER 32
#define NUM_XFERS 6
inside your libfreenect/src/usb_libusb10.h file at the linux Line
After that rebuild your libfreenect by
mkdir build
cd build cmake ..
make make install.
Than Restart your virtual System and plug and connect only the Kinect Camera Device and no other Kinect device during start of the VM. When System is up you could test your device is properly working by switching to your previously created libfreenect build directory and go to bin there you run ./freenect-camtest you should get no or only a small number of package losses if a lot of losses occur try restart your vm with the camera device pluged in and already connected to your vm. You might need to active disconnect and connect the Webcam from the VM during startup to receive images this should be done during first seconds of VM Boottime!
Works with Ubuntu 14.04 and Workstation 10 and 11 and 11.1
HOST OS Windows 7 and Kinect SDK installed and Kinectdevice for Windows
Also it seems to be quite unstable you often have to restart your virtual system if you can't receive images from your Kinect. But if you once received images don't unplug device or you won't get data until you reboot virtual system with Kinect Camera connected to it.
=> This actually solved the problem otherwise to much frames get lost and its not possible to display proper image!
