Reading XZ coordinates of joints with kinect?

[NeatTeam]

At the moment whenever I connect the Kinect to the computer I can't seem to get the X and Z values of the Kinect but only the Y values (of the Kinect joystick 1 and 2 [the arms]) in Labview and can not get anything else working.

By the way if anyone knows how to use other joints with the kinect on the robot or just activate some motors (basically just getting them to drive) with other joints. Thank you.

Yes, what you are doing is just grabbing the parsed data from the kinect. What the Open Kinect actually initializes is the kinect joystick, which emulates a joystick.

I have compiled a VI that takes the array from the Kinect and converts it into a bundle. I have included some example code here. This breaks out all of the coordinates, allowing for more advanced gestures.

We are personally working on a mecanum kinect drive block, which allows you to drive mecanum robots with the kinect.

Since I have already uploaded the Kinect to Cluster vi, here is the link to the download:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/at...7&d=1327516414
