Re: Konnect the Kinect?
Unless you have an enormous amount of free time, putting the Kinect on the robot at this time is probably not advised. There are a number of challenges:
-Mount the Kinect in a way to keep it alive (in general, the Kinect is designed to sit on a table and have people move around, not move around itself or get involved in 10-20 ft/s collisions) -Get one of the cables to split the connector into power and data -Power the Kinect off of the Power Distribution Board -Plug the (now USB) cable into a computer of some sort, like a tiny laptop or single board computer running Windows 7, .NET framework, and Visual Studio (so it can use the Kinect SDK) -Mount, power (again from the power distribution board), and program the computer which will be running on the robot -Interface that computer and the cRIO across a serial port or Ethernet port -Program the cRIO to understand these signals and take action These are some pretty non-trivial challenges. Search around these forums, you'll find people have been discussing it for a few days now, and I'd say it's a lot of work for not too much reward. |
