Skanect doesn't detect 360 Kinect

[Davey Cammack]

I'm a new user to this software. I'm trying to scan a plastic part from the car to replace & struggling to find software that'll pick up the details. 
Anyways, I followed the instructions exactly. Even installed the full SDK as suggested & still no luck. My Kinect works, because it works with other software. However, when I open Skanect, It says structure sensor, waiting for uplink. I set the settings & hit start, but I get no imagery at all. Its as if the Kinect isn't even connected. 

So, help needed. Willing to give this a chance before I just give up & try different software.

Thanks in advance.

Edit. Fixed this. I found out that the instructions don't consider that some people might be using the 360 Kinect like myself. 2.0 SDK doesn't work with 360 kinect. So I downloaded the 1.8 SDK & its working like a charm.

I too am a new user but my problem is with the scanning, has anyone any hints and tips for scanning small items ( 7cm  x 7cm x 3cm) using Xbox 360 Kinect.

object that are tiny do not make good subjects as the kinect was initially used to track body movements. If you need something to scan that small, you will need another scanner.one that can scan tiny objects.
