A warning to others:
I put a Kinect for Windows on Eddie
The 'eddie' DSS is kicking back this error:
*** Error creating service. Service type:http://schemas.microsoft.com/robotics/2
011/08/kinect.html [03/03/2012 23:03:54][http://feynman:50000/constructor]
*** Service creation failure most common reasons:
- Service contract identifier in manifest or Create request does not match C
ontract.Identifier
- Service references a different version of runtime assemblies
Additional information can be found in the system debugger log.
I researched the problem and found this:
MRDS 4 Beta 2 is not compatible with the Kinect for Windows SDK
Microsoft says it will be fixed in the release version of Robotics Studio which is weeks away from release.

Joss

Thanks for the heads-up. Much appreciated.
I am presently using an application written by Steve Norris on my EDDIE clone and it does not use MSRD, but does use the Kinect.

One thing that may be giving you this issue is that you may have the wrong Kinect SDK version installed. If you are using MRDS 4 Beta 2, then you have to install the Kinect SDK Beta version as well. If you go to install the software right now, the Kinect SDK version that is displayed is not for the Beta version, it is for the original version of Kinect SDK. You have to look for the Kinect SDK Beta 2 version, as it is a little tiny link at the bottom corner of the page. If you have conflicting versions of the MRDS software, meaning one thing is running the Beta version and the other module is not, you will get the error that the service cannot be started. Try installing the Beta version of the Kinect SDK and it should work for you.
