New "The device is not connected!" error

[Bit Felon]

Hi all,

I've been developing an OS X application using OpenNI that was working
great a few days ago. I was interfacing with OSCeleton which uses
OpenNI, and decided to get rid of OSCeleton since it was an
unnecessary middle man to what I was working on and started playing
with OpenNI directly. Initially I was having issues so I also
attempted to get libfreenect working but no luck there so I
uninstalled it from my system (I was using homebrew so it was easy to
remove) and returned to OpenNI. The green indicator on the Kinect IS
flashing.

However, now OpenNI is not working and always returns this error:

$ ./NiViewer
One or more of the following nodes could not be enumerated:

Device: PrimeSense/SensorKinect/5.1.0.25: The device is not connected!
Device: PrimeSense/SensorV2/5.1.0.25: The device is not connected!
Device: PrimeSense/SensorKinect/5.1.0.25: The device is not connected!
Device: PrimeSense/SensorV2/5.1.0.25: The device is not connected!

My system is configured with the following installed:
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Intel)
SensorKinect091-Bin-MacOSX-v5.1.0.25.tar.bz2
openni-bin-dev-macosx-v1.5.2.23.tar.bz2
nite-bin-macosx-v1.5.2.21.tar.bz2
sensor-bin-macosx-v5.1.0.41.tar.bz2

I've also tried installing older versions of some of these to match
avin's recent github posting saying "Updated codebase to the latest
OpenNI / Sensor version (1.5.2.7 / 5.1.0.25), so I also tried
installing to no avail:
nite-bin-macosx-v1.5.2.7.tar.bz2, openni-bin-dev-macosx-
v1.5.2.7.tar.bz2, sensor-bin-macosx-v5.1.0.25.tar.bz2

I've verified that the Kinect works fine by connecting it to my Xbox
and can still use it properly, see my image on the Xbox, use gestures
and the microphone.

I've used Apple's USB Prober to ensure the device is connected
properly to the USB bus, here is the output:

I've power cycled the Kinect and my computer many times, tried
different USB ports, ensured the Kinect works on Xbox, tried
installing the binaries from scratch, compiled sources and tried
installing those binaries, and also tried installing Zigfu to use the
binaries included in that (which is what I used originally to get
everything working.)

I've also ensured I don't have random openni/libusb libs laying
around:
$ find /usr | egrep -i 'libusb|openni'
/usr/include/libusb-1.0
/usr/include/libusb-1.0/libusb.h
/usr/include/ni/XnOpenNI.h
/usr/lib/libOpenNI.dylib
/usr/lib/libOpenNI.jni.dylib
/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.a
/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libusb-1.0.la
/usr/lib/libusb.a
/usr/lib/libusb.dylib
/usr/lib/libusb.la
/usr/local/Library/Formula/libusb-compat.rb
/usr/local/Library/Formula/libusb-freenect.rb
/usr/local/Library/Formula/libusb.rb
/usr/share/java/org.OpenNI.jar
$

NOTE: Everything *was* working a few days ago using the binaries
included in Zigfu. Even reinstalling from Zigfu has not fixed this
problem. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi all, still having this issue but I found something else interesting and would love to see if this correlates with other setups.

I've been reading how the Kinect was reverse engineered to see if that will help (http://www.ladyada.net/learn/diykinect/) and see that on OS X, when they run `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` it shows up three Xbox devices: "Xbox NUI Camera", "Xbox NUI Audio" and "Xbox NUI Motor".

However, when I run `system_profiler SPUSBDataType`, I only get "Xbox NUI Motor". Does anyone have any idea why this is? One thing to add is I have a Kinect with the proprietary USB-like dongle, not a true USB dongle, thus I'm using this adapter to connect it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IXRXGY/

Can others on OS X please provide their `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` output for comparison?

Again, this was all working the other day with the same setup. Any ideas would be really helpful. Here is the only portion `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` output that contains the word "Xbox":

                Hub:

                  Product ID: 0x005a

                  Vendor ID: 0x0409  (NEC Corporation)

                  Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec

                  Current Available (mA): 500

                  Current Required (mA): 100

                    Xbox NUI Motor:

                      Vendor ID: 0x045e  (Microsoft Corporation)

                      Current Available (mA): 500

                      Current Required (mA): 100

Thanks!

seeing only motor usually means the power isn't plugged in properly...

Thanks! I bet that's it; it's a cheap power adapter so I'm not surprised if it's gone bad. Will get another and go from there.

Thanks again Roee!

I have the same problem with a brand new Kinect.  Anyone get past this issue?

[Igor Barros Barbosa]

Do you have Xbox or Microsoft Version ?
What is your machine and which OS are you using ?
Which Program are you trying to run ?1
Did you followed the correct installation ?

Yes, I believe so.

Kinect For windows is not supported for Primesenser hardrware drivers or even by AVIN2.

Do you have a Kinect for Xbox to test it ?
