DRIVER STATION DOESNT RECOGNIZE KINECT

[THUNDERGROOVE]

Did you try plugging it in under the Developer user? That's what I had to do setting up our Kinect

[Greg McKaskle]

If you want to debug this, you can load the source for the Kinect Server and run it in Visual Studio Express to see if the errors returned by the NUI calls help. I'd gladly tell you how to fix it, but I haven't seen this before.

Other swap-out things you can try are to try a different account, a different computer, or a different Kinect.

I'm going to try throwing all the kinect files on the netbook we got at kickoff and see. The only problem with the netbook is that it didn't update labview correctly, so I have one pc that has labview and can't debug the kinect diver station and one that might run the kinectdriver station and not labview..

[farmersvilleRob]

the netbook or whatever failed as well but thats because it didn't recognize direct x runtime, WHICH I HAVE! >.< so I'm back to my acer i3 to solve the problems. I currently am downloading the c sharp express, BUT I have version 2010 before and I'm trying 2008 to see if this may be due to an incompatibility issue.

rererererererrerererererererererre installing kinect SDK. hopefully for anyone else having these issues, I'll have it solved, if not, please post how you fixed it or how you went through the instructions because i've noticed that those are slightly off as well (for example, the kinect sdk link takes you to a VERY general starter page)

If you do get it working, could you please post exactly what you did? We still can't get ours working after installing, uninstalling, re-installing…..

I sure will! What frustrates me the most is that FIRST didn't organize the files into a single directory under password protect in the first website. That would be the best for everyone, but now with the massive file searching we have to do plus all the updates, it's confusing for those, like myself, that aren't as good at understanding SDKs more than downloading.

As you can see, the skeletal viewer is working, but still no FRC Kinect Server. It's now not even running.. Will try this thread on FRC to see if I can fix it this way:

here is a common error I'm seeing when I spam the refresh button on the FRC Dashboard. I'm re-downloading/installing the beta 2 sdk.

[farmersvilleRob]

Here are some starter steps to follow. It helped me, but gave me more errors I'll prtscn to pictures

[farmersvilleRob]

And the rest of the steps

Well, I may have found out what was wrong here… I never actually installed the FRC Kinect Server.. I was just running the kiosk.. The 2 downloads are so spread out, I never even saw the server. I will have to try once I get the Kinect back tomorrow.

They shouldn't be spread out, mine are all under the same directory of C:\Program Files (x86)\FRC Kinect Server

Oh, I mean on the FirstForge site.. One is at the top, and the other is near the bottom….
