1.1. Introduction
OrbbecSDK ROS Wrapper provides seamless integration of Orbbec cameras with ROS environment. It supports ROS Kinetic, Melodic, and Noetic distributions. By default, we recommend using the v2-main branch. For older OpenNI devices not supported by v2-main, please use the main branch. Device models that are only supported by the main branch are listed in the table below.
If you are a user in China, it is recommended to use gitee Repo.
Here is the device support list of main branch (v1.x) and v2-main branch (v2.x):

All launch files are essentially similar, with the primary difference being the default values of the parameters set for different models within the same series. Differences in USB standards, such as USB 2.0 versus USB 3.0, may require adjustments to these parameters. If you encounter a startup failure, please carefully review the specification manual. Pay special attention to the resolution settings in the launch file, as well as other parameters, to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
