kinect_aux indexing kinect based on serial no

Question

Hi,

I'm currently using Kinect_aux for multiple kinects. I adjust the device_index param each time I want to switch to another kinect. The point is when I replace the USB connectors or restart the OS the index arrangement changes randomly. So I need to choose a kinect based on its serial no. or any other device specific id.

Answer 1

boost::shared_ptr<FreenectDevice> device_;

then

std::string serial_number = device_->getSerialNumber();

take a look at how freenect_stack has implemented this: https://github.com/piyushk/freenect_stack/blob/master/freenect_camera/src/nodelets/driver.cpp
