D435 streams work once, then crash

VShen3 — Tue, 24 Jul 2018 18:41:11 GMT

I have a D435 camera running the newest firmware.

Upon plugging it in, the camera works with any application (including all the examples, my own code, or the realsense viewer). However, if I stop the stream and start it again, it doesn't work for anything. Realsense-viewer gives me a "Frames not Recieved" error, and the only way I can fix it is by manually doing a hardware reset on the realsense-viewer, or unplugging/plugging it back in. I am NOT using ROS, so the ROS wrapper fixes do not help. (Note: I do not know how to do a hardware reset in C++, so if someone could tell me that would also be very helpful)

So far I've tried:

an externally powered USB 3.0 hub to connects the realsense to the computer.
installing far more powerful memory chips
I've tried every single USB 3.0 hub on my computer (which probably isn't the problem anyways, since the streams always work the first time after I replug it in)
waiting a while, then trying to use the camera again (still doesn't work)

Any clue what the issue might be? It makes it really tedious to run my script since I keep having to unplug the camera. Please let me know if you need any other information, and thanks in advance!

As you suggested, a hardware reset instruction placed at the start of a script can fix the problem of a camera needing reset via USB unplug-replug. The instruction for this hardware_reset()

Example:

rs2::device dev = device_you_are_using();

dev.hardware_reset(); //Will disconnect the camera and reconnect it.

//NOTE: All camera settings will be restored to default after this call (same as unplug->plug)

//Don't use device after this line

It isn't recognizing the command "device_you_are_using();" ("not declared in this scope"). Am I supposed to be importing something other than the standard ?

I think the person suggesting that code was just suggesting people put their own device ID in.

Further down that page is an alternative version that looks for any connected camera.

rs2::context ctx;

rs2::device dev = get_device_from_context(ctx);

dev.hardware_reset();

rs2::device_hub hub(ctx);

dev = hub.wait_for_device(); //Note that device hub will get any device, if you have more than 1 connected it could return the other device

Similiary, "get_device_from_context" returns a "not declared in this scope" error. Am I still not importing something that I should be?

Thank you for all your help!

The documentation on the hardware_reset() function is very slim. I would suggest pasting the line below into your script somewhere, and if that doesn't work then to open a new Issue on the Librealsense GitHub to ask the Intel programming experts there how to implement it.

void rs2::device::hardware_reset ( )

What is your computer platform and operating system?

Below is some sample code we used when we were testing and debugging this same issue.

If explains how the realsense context works - and how to iterate over all the current devices.

It also shows a mechanism for resetting a found intel device - and a mechanism to wait for the hardware to finishing resetting before continuing

Cheers

did you menage to solve this problem?

im having the same problem

and i'm not sure where should i put this part of code. on which file? where?
