TIPS FOR WORKING WITH ALL KINECT SENSORS

• Always connect the AC power supply that comes with the Kinect sensor. The green LED will light up under USB power, however the sensor will not function correctly unless the AC power supply is also connected.
• Kinect V1 can be less stable on USB3.0 ports, try USB2.0 ports if you are experiencing problems connecting tot the device or the connection drops out after some time.
• If using multiple Kinects, each Kinect sensor must be connected to its own USB controller. On some computers multiple USB ports will be on the same USB controller, this will cause problems if two Kinects are sharing that same controller. Refer to your computer's Device Manager to inspect which ports belong to each USB controller.
• Open your Touchdesigner patch first, then add the Kinect to your USB port. Select the right version.
• remember: you need the correct driver for the kinect you are using. Unistall the drivers you are NOT using, when switching Kinect type. How to Uninstall here
