Chief Delphi - Kinect Help

Hello Everyone!

Today we started testing our Kinect with the sample KinectStick code (We program in C++). We setup the kinect and the skeleton displays fine on the dashboard and the Y-axis movement is shown accurately in the readouts beneath the skeletal viewer as we move our arms . However, whenever we try to access the KinectStick via our program, using stick.GetY(), it would only display 0 (we printed the value to the smart dashboard). We got this error whenever the robot was initialized:

Code:

ERROR: Error reading NetworkTables socket: errno=54 ...in Read() in C:/WindRiver/workspace/WPILib/NetworkTables/Reader.cpp at line 70

Here is the code we used (it's the exact same as the KinectStick example except two lines added for the Smart Dashboard):

Code:

#include "WPILib.h"



/**

 * This code demonstrates the use of the KinectStick

 * class to drive your robot during the autonomous mode

 * of the match, making it a hybrid machine. The gestures

 * used to control the KinectStick class are described in the

 * "Getting Started with the Microsoft Kinect for FRC" document

 */ 

class RobotDemo : public SimpleRobot

{

        RobotDrive myRobot; // robot drive system

        KinectStick leftArm;        //The Left arm should be constructed as stick 1

        KinectStick rightArm;         //The Right arm should be constructed as stick 2

        Joystick stick;                        //Joystick for teleop control



public:

        RobotDemo(void):

                myRobot(1, 2),        // these must be initialized in the same order

                leftArm(1),                // as they are declared above.

                rightArm(2),

                stick(1)

        {

                myRobot.SetExpiration(0.1);

        }



        /**

         * Drive left & right motors for 2 seconds then stop

         */

        void Autonomous(void)

        {

                bool exampleButton;

        

                /*A loop is necessary to retrieve the latest Kinect data and update the motors */

                while(IsAutonomous()){

            /**

             * KinectStick axis values are accessed identically to those of a joystick

             * In this example the axis values have been scaled by ~1/3 for safer

             * operation when learning to use the Kinect.

             */

            myRobot.TankDrive(leftArm.GetY()*.33, rightArm.GetY()*.33);

            SmartDashboard::GetInstance()->Log(leftArm.GetY(), "LeftArm");

            SmartDashboard::GetInstance()->Log(rightArm.GetY(), "RightArm");

            

            /* An alternative illustrating that the KinectStick can be used just like a Joystick */

            //myRobot.TankDrive(leftArm, rightArm);



            /*Example illustrating that accessing buttons is identical to a Joystick */

            exampleButton = leftArm.GetRawButton(1);



            Wait(.01); /* Delay 10ms to reduce processing load */

                }

        }



        /**

         * Runs the motors with arcade steering. 

         */

        void OperatorControl(void)

        {

                myRobot.SetSafetyEnabled(true);

                while (IsOperatorControl())

                {

                        myRobot.ArcadeDrive(stick); // drive with arcade style (use right stick)

                        Wait(0.005);                                // wait for a motor update time

                }

        }

};



START_ROBOT_CLASS(RobotDemo);

Has anyone been able to get the Kinect and the KinectStick objects working? Thanks!
