Kinect v1 1414 not detecting in Processing 3.4 or 3.5.3 on MacOS Mojave

[nielsotto]

Issue Summary

The SimpleOpenNI can't initialise my device. It just freezes when run. I'm trying the examples which follows the installation in Processing. The OpenKinect library works fine and starts the camera up pretty quickly. I tried copying some .lib files from OpenKinect to SimpleOpenNI, as I saw that as a suggestion in another post, but that didn't do anything.

Executed Command (if any)

Tried the examples from the installation. The Point_Cloud one stops at
Line 21 for(int i = 0; i < depthPoints.length; i++){ and highlights in yellow.
It's a general issue though so not command specific.

Processing Output (if any)

Type of Issue

You might select multiple topics, delete the rest:

• Compilation/installation error
  I'm following instructions from the README about v1 and just copying files into the Processing Library. Do I need anything else? Something installed maybe?
• Execution error
  It definitely gives me errors on execution
• Help wanted
  Do you have any ideas what's wrong? And does 3.5.3 work even though SimpleOpenNI says it's for 3.5.2?

Your System Configuration

Operating system:
MacOS Mojave 10.14.3

Hello, I teste the version in branch 3.5.2 and is working for me:

is not necessary to add files from another libraries, try to change the USB port.

[nielsotto]

I've tried every USB port now. Does it make a difference that I'm on the 2016 Macbook Pro with USB-C? I'm using a converter, and OpenKinnect works just fine.

See screenshot. That's all I'm getting every time.

This is the OpenKinnect one:

Is the light of the Kinect turning green or red?

[nielsotto]

It's turned green

I stumbled upon this article https://decyborg.wordpress.com/2013/01/19/kinect-on-os-x-10-8-and-processing/
But your installation guide says to just copy/paste the SimpleOpenNI folder into Processing/Libraries, and since OpenKinect works, I don't assume I have to go through the steps in the article?

[totovr]

I already checked the library in a Macbook Pro 2014, and Air 2013. Tomorrow one friend will lend me his Pro 2018, wait a little please.

I am having the same issue with a Macbook Pro 2015, running Mojave and Processing 3.5.3!

[tkota0726]

Hello, all. I think you can try to install this library.

I solved this issue after installing this.

[totovr]

OpenKinect has not purpose in the Processing environment, I also checked in a Macbook Pro 2014 , same generation has the one that you have @hackerman084, and the library works, unfortunaly I could not get a Macbook Pro with USB type C @nielsotto.

[thedoger82]
