Programming Kinect

[NeatTeam]

We tried to use the kinect on other computer and it didn't work.
After enabling the robot we moved our hands and the values in the labview code just stayed the same, at Zero.

we will appreciate other ideas, thank you very much for trying to help us.

Our team is having the same problem. What you should try is to get the information from the Kinect Header vi, and see if you get valid values. We're getting 0 for numPlayers, false for success, and a blank version string, so for some reason the code is unable to communicate with the Kinect. However, we can see the skeleton updating fine in the DS.

FIRST is looking at this problem of some PCs not passing on the Kinect data.

Ok thanks, I guess we will stay tuned and we're hoping for some good news anytime soon.

Okay, FIRST thinks that the issue seems to be due to a conflict with the missing Cypress IO board.

Here are some temporary solutions to try.
Please, report back if this helps or fails.

• See if plugging your Cypress board USB in makes it all better.

or

• Go to the Driver station I/O tab, click Configure and change it to Compatible mode to see if that makes the Kinect data work.
