Re: Kinect LabView Drivers
On the USB subject, the cRIO family has lots of variety, and some have a USB port. Last I checked, the USB stack exclusively supported the storage protocol. It was used to provide a file storage interface to a USB stick.

True, drivers for other device types could be written, but doing so for VXWorks and keeping the RT aspects in mind are not so easy, so the other device types will not be supported unless there is a good reason for NI to purchase or build the necessary drivers.

I wouldn't really worry about the USB issue though. Exploring and learning about the kinect using a laptop sounds like an incredibly beneficial journey. Please keep it up. And if you are interested in sharing your results, please consider also posting them to NIWeb as you may get a good number of power users interested.
