Kinect V1 not connecting to Skanect windows 10

[Neal Fashimpaur]

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a Kinect v1 on a windows 10 computer. I have the flowing 

1. Kinect v1

2. Kinect for windows 1.8

3. Skanect 1.9

in Skanect all it show is a red sensor icon and says sensor not connected. however I have a green flashing light and I have tested the Kinect with an xbox 360 and it works. I have checked the device manager and everything is showing up there and the USB port works fine. I am getting no error message and am lost at to where the problem could be.

Some people write Kinect v1 and mean the Kinect One. i know you actually mean the Kinect for Xbox360, as the Kinect One (v2) is not supported, therefore will not work.

please make sure you have the Kinect 1.8 SDK installed (for driver support) and the newest Nvidia drivers loaded. If you are attempting to scan with a card that only has 1gb ram as the GTX550 shows, you cannot scan at  Very high on GPU, as it does not have anough ram. Please selcect high or select medium quality if it fails.

To test your kinect to make sure it functions properly, you can test out the applications in the SDK to make sure you are receiving video signals,etc.

Also to note, the FREE version only saves a maximum of 5000 polygons, aka low resolution.  

Please check your device manager and note that all 4 kinect devices show up under kinect for windows.  if they do not, check the power adapter to the kinect. if only one shows up, or continually blinks between 1 and 4, its usually the power adapter
