you need to install the Kinect SDK that you can find in the prerequisites section of the User Guide

Thanks. To confirm, I want to run PI on SEL (Linux) and Kinect on a windows 10 PC acting as client. I have installed drivers for windows on this PC.

Is this possible or have I got it all wrong?

In theory this is possible, in practice there is a few things that makes it difficult to setup:
The way to do it is to run the plugin as a remote plugin on your windows PC (see the remote instances section at the end of the user guide)
One of the problem is that for this to work well you need to run mono 4.x on your SEL, otherwise you will get some problems when you try to configure some kinect triggers for your events .
Another difficulty is that as stated in the User Guide, to run a remote instance you need to install the plugin first on your SEL (without enabling it) so that HS3 doesn't complain about license issues for the remote instance. Let me know if you still get some error after that, I may have to give you a special version to be installed on your SEL that can be loaded without the Kinect drivers installed.

Spud,

Could you kindly send me version so I can install on Linux SEL please without error message? Keen to get this working.

Stevieboy · #6 September 14th, 2016, 03:39 PM

sorry I missed your post from september 10th, here it is.

Install as explained in the Beta testing thread, or simply unzip the archive and copy HSPI_Kinect.exe in your HS3 folder.

Stevieboy · #8 September 15th, 2016, 02:53 PM

Spud,

Thanks

Keep getting a syntax error when adding this

cd to the directory, then type HSPI_KINECT.exe server<ip_of_your_hs_machine> instance=<instance_name> autoreconnect=<seconds_to_wait> console=<false|true>

This is what I am trying to input

HSPI_KINECT.exe server<192.168.X.X> instance=<kitchen> autoreconnect=<60> console=<true>

Silly question but do I still keep the nags in the sentence?

Not sure about this statement
cd to the directory,

I just open up the command prompt and it says

C:\users\hayley>

I then add the above to this, correct ?

"cd" is a command that lets you navigate the file system, it means change directory. So for example if you put the kinect plugin files in C:\HS3Kinect, then type

Code:

cd C:\HS3Kinect

then the command to start the plugin should be

Code:

HSPI_KINECT.exe server=192.168.X.X instance=kitchen autoreconnect=60 console=true

Spud, thanks . I just added files to the c directory, not in an actual folder. So I should just create a folder with this name and drop folders in there ?

as you want, you can move the files a folder, or type

Code:

cd C:\

Spud,

Thanks, getting following error.

Just noticed spelt reconnect wrong but still get error when its correct!

spud · #13 September 15th, 2016, 04:19 PM

in your screenshot HSPI_KINECT.exe appears as a notepad file in Windows explorer, that's weird. Could you try to download it again.
could you try to enter "dir" from the command line to list the files from the command window.

Stevieboy · #14 September 15th, 2016, 04:27 PM

Here we go. Also downloaded again to this file

spud · #15 September 15th, 2016, 05:05 PM

First it looks like you forgot to copy Scheduler.dll, but I think that's a different problem.

Do you still get the same error? Do you still see HSPI_KINECT.exe as notepad file in Windows explorer? What happens if you double click on it?

Stevieboy · #16 September 15th, 2016, 10:14 PM

Ok,

Copied over missing file and get below. I notice I have only one tab on config page. At this stage I have not plugged in hardware as its not arriving until tomorrow. So far so good?

the plugin files you need to install on your Windows machine that will be connected the Kinect are the files from the zip from the Beta testing thread (http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=162313) not the one posted on this thread which is only needed on your Linux HS3 server.

Morning Spud,

Thanks, Does this look more promising?. Bear in mind, kinect not plugged in to Windows PC. This should be here this afternoon. Still only one tab when I view Kinect on server, so still a little confused. Sorry!

yes this is better, but I think you are not looking at the right Config page, in the PLUG-INS menu you should have a link called "Kinect > Config - kitchen". HS3 does not handle very well those links when you add/remove a remote instance, so if you don't see the link, restart HS3 then restart your remote instance.

also, if you want to use the Kinect as a webcam you will have to start the plugin as Administrator. To do this start a cmd window as Administrator, i.e right click cmd.exe in windows menu, then click "run as Administrator", then start the plugin as usual.

Stevieboy · #20 September 16th, 2016, 08:07 AM

Spud,

Thanks, a restart of the Linux SEL did the trick. I now havevoice tabs. Just a waiting game now for the delivery guy, then playtime starts. Thanks for your patience. Will post if I get stuck !

Windows drivers installed and ready to go, I think!

Cheers
