Re: 2012 kinect kiosk with 2013 Driver's Station?

In our case the point was not to show off kinect itself but to
show off the robot via kinect. Exactly like bgg said - we
let folks drive the robot around and shoot via kinect.
Fun and engaging demonstration.

>Is your Driver Station netmask 255.0.0.0 ?
Hmm... Not 100% sure. Not in front of the system
at the moment so I'll have to double check.

Yes, I ended up deleting the Microsoft V1 SDK and had to revert
to the beta SDK since the FRC kinect server install had a hardcoded
check for the beta SDK (and I didn't feel like trying to hack
that dependency). So I was trying FRC 2013 labview
with last year's Kinect software (kinect beta SDK and FRC Kinect Server
the FRC kinect kiosk). That's the gist of this post - should that
be expected to work?

>We hooked it directly to the driver station computer using an old test code

That works fine for me as well. It's just the remote kiosk
that I can't get to work.
