This effort will provide a wrapper to access the Kinect through C#. The wrapper is pretty much done (see Image below).

The C# wrapper is currently feature complete. But the win32 version of libfreenect has a lot of issues. In order to keep support issues down and reduce confusion etc. the C# wrapper will not be put into the mainline until the win32 version of libfreenect is working. The version that does work in linux can be found at: https://github.com/lostincake/libfreenect/tree/csharp_wrapper Please understand however, that this is not an official release yet. But you are welcome to play with the code. If you have any questions, you can try contacting Aditya (LostInCake).

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.

Installation/Configuration

Coming sooooon!


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();
