<![CDATA[Wearable Inertial motion sensors]]>Hello,

I am thinking of trying out the [RAM Dance Toolkit](https://github.com/YCAMInterlab/RAMDanceToolkit/wiki/Overview) (http://goo.gl/LcaeM) which is accepting OSC inputs. Although the latter wiki page describes making sensors for this toolkit, I would like to first explore more readily available sensors.
Therefore I would appreciate it very much sharing any experience in buying choices/making/using wearable inertial motion sensors.
Thanks.

I just bought another kinect, model 1473, and it does not work with this app. Looking at this [thread](http://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/ofxkinect-issue-with-kinect-model-1473/11632), I think the issue is the change in the API, which occurred since original model 1414 (the kinect that I have, which works with this app). 
In other words, CocoKinect will only work with kinect 1414.

I am finally home and was able to check your file –– dragged it on the CocoKinect app and it worked! OSX 10.9.1, MBPr.

Just in case I attach the executable.

With the new update from NI Mate you are able to record oni files. I tried to drag an oni file into the coco kinect window, but its not showing up. Any ideas?

Should work with new and old kinects (I only have old but the libraries apparently are good for both).

This is a pristine (in relation to OpenNi) computer, while my other ones have had openni and NITE installed numerous times. Unfortunately, this is where I have to stop: I have another project pressing. Bottom line: try to install Openni, SensorKinect and NITE if your version of CocoKinect does not render. I read somewhere on the Openni Forums that openni will silently try to load the libraries, and if it can't find them, it will simply bail out without giving the reason.

my kinect is of the older variety. it works fine with NI-Mate, so its not a hardware issue.
CocoKinect won't recognise when i've plugged in my kinect and reset, or if i drop an oni file from the resource you linked to.

John, I haven't upgraded yet. With 10.6.8 I get intermittent visuals on Syphon... anybody experiencing the same with upgraded OS?

]]>https://community.troikatronix.com/post/7713https://community.troikatronix.com/post/7713Fri, 16 Jan 1970 21:02:53 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Wearable Inertial motion sensors on Fri, 16 Jan 1970 21:02:34 GMT]]>Guys, these are the sources for RAMDanceToolkit+Syphon and CocoKinect for RAMDanceToolkit (could be used for debugging or recompiling for other SDK's).

If CocoKinect does not see kinect:
-- if the app starts, it means that all the libraries (usb and openni) have loaded, and it's up to them to see the kinect;
-- if your kinect is not recognized, please keep in mind that openni version used is for older kinect models (not 1473).
-- if you have an older kinect and program still does not see it, check if an oni file can be played (I have used [these](http://people.cs.pitt.edu/~chang/1635/proj11/kinectRecord) ones for testing).
To see a more detailed output on the console, one can 
   -- open terminal
   -- cd to ../CocoKinect.app/Contents/MacOS
   -- execute ./CocoKinect 
   -- examine the messages
However, if kinect is not recognized, you will see something like "Device not found" –– which is produced by OpenNI library -- not very helpful, but at least it will confirm that the problem is not in CocoKinect, but in openni/libusb/hardware realm.
Lastly, confirm that your kinect is seeing by a regular Openni program, such as NiViewer, to exclude a hardware issue.

If you are working on the same machine you cannot bind two apps to the same port so you have to code in that you send to 2 separate ports (sending two messages). You can do this with OSCulator.

Check the addressign section of this
