How to use Orbbec Astra sensor/camera on ROS to view pointcloud?

2.2k Views Asked by At

I have installed ROS indigo, openni2, and plugged Orbbec Astra sensor in. When I try to execute:

roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch

I get the warning that no device is connected:

No matching device found.... waiting for devices.
Reason: std::string openni2_wrapper::OpenNI2Driver::resolveDeviceURI(const string&)
