Re: Kinect LabView Drivers

Riobotics, that is very cool to see! I look forward to seeing what you or other people can do with this

The only issue is instability during startup, sometimes it takes several attempts to activate Kinect, turining power on and off and restarting Labview several times. Once Kinect is activated it works well and stable. If somebody is interested, I can share the results.
Are you planing to release new version with improved stability?

Hi Boris,

That's good to hear; Yes I will continue to keep my github synced as fixes become available in the OpenKinect repository. I don't believe that any of the issues you're experiencing could be the result of the LabView wrapper itself but if there's evidence to suggest otherwise I'll be happy to take a closer look at my own code
