About

Who is involved

Coordinator/Development: Aditya Gaddam (User:LostInCake)

Current Status

Feature Supported? Notes
Connect to Kinect (heh) Yes
Control LED Yes 0x04 and 0x05 for the LED status seem to do the same thing - Blink Green. Seems to be something on the native lib side though.
Control motor Yes Motor status is still not in.
Get accelerometer data Yes Currently using old accelerometer stuff. Need to move to the new "get state" type of stuff.
RGB data callback Yes
Depth data callback Yes Still fairly slow if being polled along with RGB camera. Definitely needs speed improvements.

Installation/Configuration

  1. Step one
  2. Step two
  3. Step three


Sample Code

using LibFreenect;

...

// Getting device count
Console.WriteLine("Number of devices = " + Kinect.DeviceCount);

if(Kinect.DeviceCount > 0)
{
    // Connecting to a device
    Kinect k = new Kinect(0);
    k.Open();

    // Setting LED color
    k.LED.Color = KinectLED.ColorOption.Yellow;

    // Closing connection
    k.Close();
}

// Shutdown library and close any open devices
// Should probably do this at the end of every program.
Kinect.Shutdown();
