Hey sorry about that! I realise now I accidentally saved the test code over the final code before uploading it. I have just fixed, tested and uploaded the new working .ino file to step 5 as <Laptop_buddy_rgb2.ino>The only difference between the test code and this one is the 'Serial.println' function has been changed to 'Serial.write'. Println is used to print the data to the serial monitor whereas write is used to transfer the data to processing through the port. Hope this fixes your project and let me know if you have any more questions.Best of luck!
View Instructable »No problem, thanks for noticing there was a mistake. Awesome I'll be keen to see what you come up with, if I were to do it again I'd add a 6th button on the side that brings up the user interface.

I'm glad to hear you like it, best of luck with your project I'd love to see what you come up with.
Haha thank you I wish I was. I'd love to get in there and push the limits of what they're making. Maybe some day ;)
Glad to hear you like the project, That would be a really cool function to have in this design! If I ever upgrade to have a second monitor I might just try that out.

I believe it can be used with windows 10. The only issue is Processing isn't fully capable on windows 10 yet. I think there are work arounds to fix it though which you can read about here: https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/11598/windows-10
View Instructable »The software doesn't need to be active, it can be minimized and still work in the background. Thanks for pointing this out I should have addressed that in my video since it's a big part of what makes this tool useful.

Hey man I just followed the instructable step by step, plugged the kinect into my mac with the usb and tried to connect it to processing. I tried to start up one of the examples from the 'Open Kinect for Processing' Library and got this error: No Kinect devices found.Failed to open camera subdevice or it is not disabled.Failed to open motor subddevice or it is not disabled.Failed to open audio subdevice or it is not disabled.There are no kinects, returning nullIs there something else I need to do before it works?

Yes the code should work on windows 7, however you will need to adapt the application addresses within the processing code to the right locations for the .exe files that will launch your apps. These will be specific to your own computer.
Yeah this could easily be adapted for windows, it would just involve changing the application addresses within the software for the apps you want to launch with the buttons.
