Making a script like leap or wii, but for other sensors

[dmitriyc]

Hey guys. Was just wondering...is it possible to make a script in the vein of what you would use to control the wii mote or the leap and instead make a script that would facilitate say, the myo or the kinect camera. Is it possible to connect these or other sensors without the use of myo mapper or other bridging software.

Thanks.

Not sure a script will do the job, i'm afraid you'll need to study the SDK to create a real module?

there is the HID module that outputs bytes of datas from the selected hid device, then its often possible to convert thoses bytes to usable float variables via a script or patch with a bit of manipulations, but think there couldn't be a magical script working for all devices, have to study case by case how the device constructor handles datas to bytes, if its provided in their manual/dtasheet (usually yes if they have a sdk/developper manual), but it' s very specific case each time

I played around with the HID module and it only seems to pick up things like joysticks, mice, keyboards, the sensors on board the macbook, but other things I haven't really made work out of the box. My aim is to somehow make the myo and the kinect sensor without having other software be involved. @nay-seven: you're talking about the usine SDK or myo and kinect SDK respectively?

I suppose you have to study the 2 SDK, understand how their respective ones declare their parameters and apply this to Usine module

Where do I even begin? I'm not really a coder....
