Astra Stereo S with ROS - Unable to access depth data

Hello,

I am trying to use the Astra Stereo S with the ROS wrapper on ROS Kinetic and Ubuntu 16.04.
My goal is to get a registered RGBXYZ point cloud.
I can access the depth sensor using OpenNI/the SDK and the RGB cam using OpenCV without errors. When using ROS however I am unable to get any data from the depth sensor at all using the Stereo S launch file (the RGB cam works fine).
Using the astra.launch file I can access the depth sensor but not the RGB cam due to the UVC interface of the Stereo S.
The node launch outputs no obvious error messages, but when I try to echo a depth topic the error

`142576888 WARNING    Endpoint 0x81, Buffer 0: Asynch transfer failed (status: 1)

I also do not recieve any data from the depth topics. You can find a full sample log up to the point where the error occurs below.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Did you use the latest version “ros_astra_camera” and “ros_astra_launch”?

Yes, at the time of my post I used the latest versions of “ros_astra_camera” and “ros_astra_launch” from Github. I have now tried it again, updating the respective packages, but I still have exactly the same problem as described in my original post.

Based on your log, the setting failed in this stage.

Probably you could try another USB ports or a new line, because I think the problem is about USB interface stuff. FYI, I used stereo s with USB 3.0 port and it works well. Good luck!

Thank a lot for your help. There was indeed a problem with the USB cable. After replacing it with a different one I can now access the depth stream.
