@H00D04 I'll be glad to help if I can, although I'm not an expert neither on Mindstorms nor on the Kinect... I can only use so much time, and my last two attempts at installing the OpenNI software on different machines have been complete failures!
@rasomuro Im trying to get your code that you provided on your site up and running. So far no luck. Any tips on how you put it all together? As well do you think it is possible to use Stephen Howell's new OpenNi2Scratch GUI? As well how did you use scratch?
@H00D04 I didn't use Scratch, but the OpenNI2Scratch program was a good starting point to send the joint location data to my program, so I took it and modified its output. In principle, the same modifications should work with the GUI, but you still need to patch the code so that it outputs what you need. As for putting things together, there are many possible problems: start by seeing what doesn't work: do the two programs compile? Do they output anyting?
@rasomuro Ok good to know you didn't actually use scratch, I was confused about that for sure. I personally can not get the two programs you have on your site to compile at all. I'm using VS2010 and have tried to add the files and headers and such. But I still get a build error .I don't really know how to use VS2010 and am very new to this. How did you acquire the data from the OpenNi2Scratch so that you could use it?
Awesome! I used the old mindstorms in the past but I never did anything like that. I've been playing around with the kinect recently too. Do you have variable speeds based on how far your arm is extended?
@0xParse Yes, motor speeds are proportional to the hand displacement from a predefined "neutral" position. Actually, keeping the robot still is hard because it is hard to find this neutral position without having a solid lever in your hand...
I'm impressed.
Impressed by the setup. Even more impressed that no-one has cried 'Fake' yet.
Not that I think it is fake. Just that pretty much everything impressive or creative on YouTube has at least one Troller calling 'fake'.
