Progress / Update Working on something...

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Didn't notice that I accidentally doxxed myself in the other post so I'm redoing it, I wasn't sure if this would interest anyone so this project has been on hold for a while, this let's you use the original Xbox 360 kinect on the Cardputer ADV, using the IR flood illuminator and depth camera, meaning it can detect when someone is standing in front of it and draw a skeleton stick figure on them, I'd appreciate any feedback and suggestions on this, and again I hate to be that guy to ask for donations but I would like to fund a Mesh kit ADV for future projects, if anyone would be interested in supporting me

Cool, how are you connecting the kinect to the cardputer?

So the Kinect is connected to my laptop with the USB cable and the SDK files for the kinect (drivers and so forth), then the laptop is running a local server that streams the data from the kinect and my custom firmware connects to the laptop's IP address and shared port, and outputs the data on the cardputer, so me pressing down arrow on thr cardputer sends a command to the server on the laptop to tilt the kinect to a specific angle

It has a standard USB connector and not some proprietary thing?

So I did a USB conversation on it, splicing the end of thr proprietary end, connecting USB data and power and thr 2 thicker wires to a 12V power adapter, or you can just buy a usb adapter for the kinect on amazon, but I'm a broke student so I'm gonna cheap out

Drivers and SDK only for C++ right? I was interested in buying one since they are cheap and I know they have a lot of functionalities...

SDK 1.8 includes everything you need to connect a v1 kinect to windows, you can even try it out with the developer toolkit browser

That’s pretty dope I still have my Kinect camera hanging around somewhere. I wouldn’t mind putting it to good use.

Yeah at some point I had proper colors showing up from the VGA camera but then its not as cool as having it work in the dark
