0/0/0 ... nothing to grade --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 19:04, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Downloaded the LabView software into my personal computer with a initial 7 day trial, got the serial number to activate the 6 month trial pack. I tried to figure out on how to program the labview with basic tutorial but ended in a confused scenario. I was not successful with the programming part. I have a basic idea of LabView. The makerbot project poster board is done for the engineering week.

10/0/0 ... regrade ... I can see that you wrote something here ... need to document the confusion ... this is what everyone else will benefit from --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 13:40, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Week3 Narrative
I programmed the LabView successfully using the new tutorial links. The Xbox Kinect is not showing up on my laptop but i think it is connected because it creates a sound when plugged into the usb socket. Couldn't find the kinect in the labview.In the Find drivers and Add-ons option in LabView, clicked on Find LabView Add-ons > A new window to search for tools > search > Kinect > Kinesthesia Toolkit for Microsoft Kinect appeared.I Clicked on Install > Downloading the package. It is a free software, Kinesthesia.The software can't find access into my LabView 2013. Repeated failure in installing the software. The helpline in case of problems in installing software with labiew is 1-800-531-5066.The website with information about how to make use of Kinect is OpenKinect I contacted the ni engineer David and with his help i got the software installed into my labview. The errors were solved by editing the options and accessibility of the VI Package Manager in my LabView.

wow ... what problems were solved? what options were edited? this information needs to be captured so others can benefit from it .. not clear if it is working or not ... team needs to use screen capture software and talk into a microphone .. lots of push points here ... but so far the above is just a report ... need to spend time documenting what was done ... 10/10/5 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:36, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Week4 Narrative
I followed the youtube link Kinect to install the softwares required to activate the kinect. Here is what i did InstallI got an error message when i tried to activate kinectcam.ax. The error said "kinectcam.ax" was loaded successfully but the call to Dll server failedErrorI corrected the error, the problem was that i didn't select the "run as administer" in the cmd prompt.Thecorrection.For the kinect to work in labview a software named Kinethesia Toolkit needs to be installed from the VI Package Manager, For this the VI Package Manager should be allowed access to labview 2013. Here is how it is installKinethesia.I failed to find the kinect as an input in labview even after inastalling the toolkit. In Find Instrument Drivers in the tools menu in labview located the Kinect,when searched. It could not activate kinect in labview. Repeated failures in connecting Kinect to labview to operate the programmes.My labview was able to locate the Microsoft Kinect in the instrument driver window, then i kept on going in loops trying to activate kinect in labviewinstrumentI found a link that helps to interface the labview with kinect, but i didn't understand what was actually going on in the coding given by the website. The website Labview Coding for kinect.In my labview i found the controls pallete for Microsoft Kinect in the Find instrument drivers option in the tools menu in labview. But couldn't activate it to perform a programmetroubleshoot.

The video's are painful to watch. There is lots of value above, but it is all buried underneath a chaos ... which are your video's ... which are video's you found ... I like Jing, but lots of stuff is off screen ... can not have dead time in the video .. edit this out .. learn to capture screens as graphics ... I can see your frustration but you need to name it ... then describe it ... just shooting a video of it is painful ... I have to use the frustration in my body to give it a name and externalize it ... good start ... 10/10/20 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 16:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
