Errors in code

Ok. So:

  1. Have you downloaded Processing?
  2. Have you installed the SimpleOpenNI library into Processing?
  3. Have you opened the DepthImage example sketch listed in the SimpleOpenNI examples?

If not, do so, because that is what you need to do.

This stage has nothing to do with the Arduino, or the Arduino IDE. It's all done in the Processing IDE.

  1. Have you downloaded Processing

I don't know if I did this how would I be able to tell?

  1. Yes

  2. Yes

okay does this mean

This stage has nothing to do with the Arduino, or the Arduino IDE. It's all done in the Processing IDE.

its all on my computer and not the arduino IDE?

23

How can you say yes to 2 and 3, if you don't know if you've done 1?

Go here: Download Processing / Processing.org

Download the version appropriate for your operating system.

Follow the instructions here: http://www.processing.org/learning/gettingstarted/

its all on my computer and not the arduino IDE?

Yes. It's all on your computer.

24

Like others have said, processing is a different language to what the Arduino IDE uses ( C++ ).

You will have to transpose your code which includes transposing the whole SimpleOpenNI library.

If the kinect can be used, there must be Arduino examples out there.

PBODY:
If I put this into the arduino platform with the kinect connected to the computer and the SimpleOpenNi libraries uploaded would it do something?

That code has nothing to do with Kinect or Arduino. It draws shapes in Processing.

I'm really confused on why you keep asking questions about Processing code on a non-Processing forum.

26

I'm confused why you've started another thread for the same thing.

http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,98548

What exactly would I be looking for at processing.org

I gave you links and instructions in the other thread. If you don't want to follow them, why keep asking questions. The book you have is based around using a Kinect with Processing. Much later (chapter 6) it uses Processing to send serial instructions to an Arduino, but it still uses Processing for the Kinect interface. If you aren't going to use Processing, then the book is no use to you.

If I put this into the arduino platform with the kinect connected to the computer and the SimpleOpenNi libraries uploaded would it do something?
or would I have to utilize something else?

You really have to realise that this has absolutely nothing at all to do with the Arduino. It is all done in Processing. To obtain Processing (as I put in your other thread):

Go here: Download Processing / Processing.org

Download the version appropriate for your operating system.

Thank you for all the help

I hope you guys understand I have no clue of what I am doing thank you for baring with me and being so generous even though I posted multiple questions, and apparently illogical questions due to arduino.

Sorry for any confusion and my absolute lack of knowledge

Maybe I should try to learn more before I ask a question
