Kinect cannot connect to DS

[Ido_Wolf]

Hello,

We're trying to connect our Kinect to our DS laptop. The physical LED on the Kinect is blinking green, but we have issues getting it to be recognized in our Driver Station program.

We're using Windows 7 64 bit. The Kinect SDK is 64 bit version (installed in Program Files), and the FRC Kinect Server is 32 bit (installed in the Program Files (x86) folder).

We tried these combinations:

• Kinect SDK 1.8 with the 2013 FRC Kinect Server. See the picture attached for the output under these circumstances.
• Kinect SDK 1.5 with 2013 Kinect Server. Same as the above, but with a different Kinect version.
• Kinect SDK beta 2 with 2012 Kinect Server. Diagnostics LED is grey, and Kinect version says it's "Not connected".

With the third option, we could get a picture of the Kinect using the Kinect Skeletal Viewer. Later versions do not include the Skeletal viewer software so we're not sure about it in those versions.

Does anyone have an idea?
