Using Kinect with a Netduino microcontroller
Another fun part of development is when we integrate Kinect with a microcontroller and send signals or data from a Kinect-based application to do some activities. With the microcontroller, we can wire up different electronic gadgets, such as a 7-segment board, digital alarm, LED display board, and many more.
Integrating these two technologies can help us to build a robust and real-life application, such as a home automation system, security system, controlling a robot, and so on. In this section we will learn how we can connect a Netdunio microcontroller with a Kinect and control the Netdunio on-board LED.
Required components
Other than Kinect, the Kinect for Windows SDK, and Visual Studio, to build this solution we need the following components:
Microsoft .NET Micro Framework
Netduino
Netdunio SDK (32-bit or 64-bit depending on the Operating System)
Microsoft .Net Micro Framework
The .Net Micro Framework is a subset of the .Net Framework, which does...
