Hello!

Today we are going with the step by step configuration of the new KinectOne sensor. The first thing to keep in mind is that you need a good laptop to be able to use the SDK, in my case a Surface Pro.

The first step is the classic: install the SDK. Important do not connect the #KinectOne until you have not finished the installation of the SDK.

A good thing to keep in mind: the Kinect sensor comes “empty”, so you have to update the firmware to get it working. In example: when you launch the app to see the status of the sensor you’ll see something similar to the following picture: the firmware version is 0.0.0.0

So let’s go with the firmware update task. We search for the app “KinectFirmwareUpdate”

Launch the update app. This always gives a little scare, because you can get a brick at the end of the process; Luckily in few minutes is up and running.

Now, after updating the firmware, windows can recognize the device and install the drivers (which has stored during the installation of the SDK, again careful with the order in which you do things!)

In a few minutes it is already installed

We can now begin to work with the sensor.

Last tip: for the demos or applications using the SDK to work, the “KinectService” app has to be running.

Start the application…

And now we can start with the development of our apps…

“This is preliminary software and/or hardware and APIs are preliminary and subject to change“
