RyanGordon/libfreenect forked from OpenKinect/libfreenect

General information:
These drivers are still very very experimental and while they work, they are not 100% stable. There will probably be problems we haven't discovered yet. Please keep this in mind!

Needed first before this works: 
1) Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db84&displaylang=en
2) Windows machine with a (preferably) new version of LabVIEW (8.6+). Older versions untested.
3) inf files (driver files) Please see: http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started_Windows and follow the Driver Installation instructions. You don't need the dependencies or the other instructions unless you actually want to mess with and compile the code that makes up the dlls. 

Known issues:
1) Only 11Bit Depth Format and RGB Format work currently. Support for the others is being added soon.
2) It is IMPORTANT to make sure the Kinect is turned off (either by pressing the the "stop" button in example.vi or running "stop.vi" or manually removing physical power from the Kinect before working on the code. It's been seen that LabView will close without warning or explanation if these steps are not taken. If LabView crashes when you try and run it, unplug your Kinect physically, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in. Restarting your computer or LabVIEW may also help. Save your work often.

Information:
- The depth frame image in example.vi uses an arbitrary gray-scale false-color rendering. The raw resultant array can be accessed from the vi "get depth frame.vi" included in libfreenect.lvlib. Please see: http://openkinect.org/wiki/Protocol_Documentation for more information
- The RGB frame image in example.vi can be directly accessed from the raw resultant array in "get image frame.vi" included in libfreenect.lvlib. Please see: http://openkinect.org/wiki/Imaging_Information for more information
- The dlls in this project are 32bit compiled with MSVC 2010 in release format
- Only has been tested with 1 Kinect
- Timing is very important to frame rate speed. Please be considerate to cycles when developing algorithms on top of these drivers
