We are running two Kinects through the ROS driver, and it seems like there is an issue connecting them through the USB. The weird part is that sometimes the cameras connect without an issue, or restarting the cameras multiple times "fixes" the problem.

We have already made usbfs adjustments following microsoft/Azure-Kinect-Sensor-SDK#485.

We are on ROS melodic and Ubuntu 18.04.

Below is the error message.

I had similar issues connecting to multiple devices, I am not sure if this is the actual problem but in my code I closed the device when the serial number does not match and then I could use multiple devices.
I am thinking about this part of the code:

if (params_.sensor_sn != "")
      {
        if (device.get_serialnum() == params_.sensor_sn)
        {
          k4a_device_ = std::move(device);
          break;
        }
      }

If the serial numbers do not match, the device is not closed?
I think it would be useful if the sdk could provide a function to connect to a device by passing in a serial number instead of the index.

@wirthual The device should be closed by the destructor when it goes out of scope:
See device descructor in c++ wrapper

wirthual commented Nov 9, 2019

I see, thank you for pointing out. I use a variable with a scope that's not only the for loop, probably this was the reason I needed to close it explicit in my code.

I had the same issue in running two KAs at the same time, By default, Linux limits image capturing to a Max_value, in my desktop it was limited to 16 MB.

To extend the USBFS limit, I manually moddified the grub
( /etc/default/grub ) chaning ( GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" ) to ==> ( GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.usbfs_memory_mb=1000" ),

Update the grup ( sudo update-grub ) and restart your PC ( sudo reboot ).

check if buffer size has successfully changed ( cat /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/usbfs_memory_mb )

All the Best :)

@GabrielQuik Did you manage to solve your problem? I am also using two kinects in the same computer and get the same error and after it, both cameras work fine.

Failed to open K4A device at index 0

I believe it could be the way the two cameras are brought up. Every time the driver is launch, it will try to open all the devices connected to the PC no matter whether they have been already opened or not. This error does not limit the functionality but it would be nice if it did not happen.

@RoseFlunder

To prevent this error we would need to remove the option to choose a kinect via serial number because you can only query the serial number of the device if you have opened it via the API.
Already opened devices will produce this error.

@RoseFlunder Thanks for your fast response.
Is there any proper clean way to launch multiple cameras and avoid this error ?

@carcormir can u run two kinects using K4aviewer ? do u get the same error .

@carcormir
Copy link

@Tarekbouamer I open two instances of k4aviewer and I am able to run both kinects simultaneously without any errors. The problem comes when trying to launch two cameras using the ROS driver

@RoseFlunder

Well the error just means that the device that is opened by the first instances of the driver node can't be opened by the second instance, which is not a problem to worry about.
If you only want the error gone just because of asthehic reasons you could just comment out this line of code in your copy of this package:

Azure_Kinect_ROS_Driver/src/k4a_ros_device.cpp

Line 163 in bda2956

ROS_ERROR_STREAM("Failed to open K4A device at index " << i);

That is what I already did, but I was not sure if there was another way.
Thanks for the help though!
Have a great weekend.

it seems like that i could not fix the problem with your proposal. i turly get 1000 after your instruction, but i still could open 2 device. Could you give me more advice?

I seem to have found a workaround solution to launching two kinect camera nodes on the same computer, as mentioned here or in #236 and #210
The solution seems to be a delay between launching the kinect nodes instead of launching them at the same time.
I used this launch-prefix to create a parameter node_start_delay for the azure_kinect_ros_driver node which is set to 1 sec for the second camera.

Here is an example driver.launch for two Azure Kinect cameras:

<launch>
  <arg name="tf_prefix"         default="" />                       <!-- Prefix added to tf frame IDs. It typically contains a trailing '_' unless empty. -->
  <arg name="overwrite_robot_description" default="true" />         <!-- Flag to publish a standalone azure_description instead of the default robot_descrition parameter-->

  <group if="$(arg overwrite_robot_description)">
    <param name="robot_description"
      command="xacro $(find azure_kinect_ros_driver)/urdf/azure_kinect.urdf.xacro tf_prefix:=$(arg tf_prefix)" />
    <node name="joint_state_publisher" pkg="joint_state_publisher" type="joint_state_publisher" />
    <node name="robot_state_publisher" pkg="robot_state_publisher" type="robot_state_publisher" />
  </group>

Hi, @leoneversberg , I wonder after launching two cameras, did they have the same timestamps for the data.

Hi, @leoneversberg , I wonder after launching two cameras, did they have the same timestamps for the data.

I didn't notice any differences in the timestamps or sync issues. I followed the instructions from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/kinect-dk/multi-camera-sync and connected both cameras with a 3.5mm cable.
