[Tutorial for beginners] uArm with Kinect Control

uArm Swift (Pro) Troubleshooting
1

Hi, makers, we developed a simple program which can use Kinect for Windows to control uArm through Visual Studio.

There are three main functions that the program can do:
1, 3D coordinates Control
2, Play piano
3, Calligraphy

and the videos below show final results of these functions:

The main method to control uArm through Kinect is by acquiring left-hand-coordinate and transferring this data to uArm to execute certain function.

To do these functions, make sure
1, you have hardware Microsoft Kinect 2.0 and uArm
2, you have Visual Studio 2013 (or 2015), Kinect SDK 2.0 installed in PC and UCP(uArm communication protocol) download in uArm through Arudino IDE

We made a fully explained tutorial on our Blog, you can follow these steps to generate your own applications or functions.

Hi.I’m trying to do this project with a Kinect 360 using 1.7SDK - is this an impossible task?

I’m seeing a few errors in Visual Studio and having trouble following the directions as laid out in the blog post. UCP or Firmata? “And also download UCP (serial communication file) to uArm!!” - All your links are broken but I managed to find all the downloads. I just don’t know what to do now with Visual Studio or Arduino - open a new sketch file, then what?

Apologies for all the newbie questions, am just starting out here.
