Support for k4w and 1473 kinect with motor and led control.

  • LED control
  • Motor control
  • Accel data

Based on the excellent proof of concept code by Drew Fisher ( @zarvox ).

Also:

  • Uploads audio firmware from ofxKinectExtras.h
  • Checks to see if 1473 or K4W can be controlled ( ie: firmware has been uploaded )
  • Updates OF with latest libfreenect

Don't merge yet - I need to test this with K4W.

For the newer 1473 device this seems to work really well.
Would be great to get some help testing on Windows and Nix especially those who have the 1473 Kinect.

Notes:

  • 1473 device seems to deactivate the IR projector when tilting. Reactivates when tilting has stopped. Need to check and see if that is normal behavior for this model.
  • 1473 device sometimes leaves the IR projector on, on exit. Seems to be to do with tilting. Should be easy to solve.

…udio firmware from ofxKinectExtras.h - also updates OF with latest libfreenect

Okay I have checked this with the K4W device and it is working great.
Will check with Windows shortly.

Anyone with a linux setup and a newer 1473 Kinect would be great to test the tilt etc.

okay built this on windows vs and cb and it is now running fine.
some small language fixes were needed.

Also BUILD_AUDIO is not currently supported by libfreenect on windows so motor control won't currently be possible.

This should be good to merge now.
