Quick video on how I've made the PC/Xbox One S Mod for the Xbox One Kinect. This way, kinect can be used as 3D scanner. Download: www.thingivers... Music: Hinkik - Skystrike Nameless Warning - Things in Life
I thought the same thing. I looked online for the DC combo (DC012A) with a bit of wire like in the video, but all I found was the jack itself. I found a website that explains what each post is and was happy to see there is two grounds and not a mystery third connector. This sound help. www.xunpudianzi.com/747.html Also, I do not have a nee to cut wires for my power supply, so I can skip the wire protector step, it is a great idea thought and will save the STL for future projects
why is it necessary to add a power port? does the cable that comes with the kinect not supply enough? just splice the cable with a power one and a regular usb 3.0 cord. no need to go trough all the trouble of opening up the kinect itself.
the connector in the Kinect is a USB3 with some extra non standard pins. one of them for 12V Vcc. USB3 from a computer does not provide this current so it has to come from an external source. you can either add the 12 V jack and use a standard USB3 cable or cut the original cable to join it to another half USB3 cable and the Vcc cable. I think this second solution is much more difficult since you have to reconnect 12 wires in a kind of cable that is very sensitive to interferences and length excess.
Holy Bleep man!!! Nice job. Im going to do it this weekend. I have a friend that wants to make parts for an older car and he is dragging butt getting it scanned. :D
As I asked below, connect the cable to the right point is key here, yet the question is not clearly answered below as asked by Alex Ogilvie. Critical information missing and my project goes in limbo.
This is fucking excellent. This sort of technology usually costs tens of thousands of pounds. Leica just bought out a BLK 360, ground breaking scanning, portable 3D scanner, costs almost £20,000. The next 3D scanners up from this go for £50-100,000 And you're doing this on a Kinect V2.... Brilliant. I just bought one for £20 second hand, a thousandth of the price of a BLK. Let me know how you get on. I have a friend who has a couple of 3D scanners. He could help me with this.
It is, considering the price you can get this sensor for. Kinect V2 is coming out soon on the pc for £200. People can get the same sensor for £20 second hand at the moment. It's not just point clouds, you can use it for motion capture as well, which has applications for animations/vfx/videogame creation. Companies pay thousands to this kind of tech. It's a seriously high end piece of kit this sensor.
This is really excellent, and thank you for posting it, but I have two questions: (1) why did you solder the male jack to a power supply when you could have used the plug that came with the supply, and (2) how did you connect the female jack to the board? I presume you used the soldering points that are shown in a couple of other videos. I'm just wondering if there was some benefit to using that particular pair. Thanks also for sharing the printed parts - you made it look really clean.
Alex Ogilvie Thanks. I’ve soldered different male jack because it wouldn’t fit the female one. I’ve soldered it to those pins because there is only one pin for voltage.
Gotcha. I think I'm going to try this but get a standard panel mount female adapter, then extend the shroud like you did, just with the panel mounted adapter attached. It does not look like there is enough clearance to handle the depth of any adapter. Thanks for the inspiration. I didn't like the way people either make a frankencable, or they loop the exposed wires in through the USB port.
Hey, nice projects! I need a kinect adapter for my xbox one x and there is none available below $200, would you mind being more through with the steps to make this? Right now there is BIG demand for adapters (without breaking the bank) right now and this fix if explained for dummies, would bring a lot of views!
@@MathijsGroothuis hey can't find anyone to answer my question hopefully you can the power adapter for 12 volt that he's making for this connect is that just the power the fan he doesn't show where the Leeds are soldered to
@@ManolloMancelli 26$ from AliExpress. Or you could just buy an extender/socket for that proprietary cable and solder it by yourself without damaging the kinect.
Ciao Manollo, praticamente con questo sistema si evita di comprare l'adattatore per il xbox one s? puoi consigliarmi la sezione dei cavi migliori sia per alimentazione che per la usb, grazie
Buy a desktop, they are much less expensive and WAY more capeable for 3D Work. You need a 24" or larger monitor anyway to have some workspace left next to all the menus. At least an i7 quadcore, min gt 730, 8gb ram
I bought the connector off amazon, it works but my 3d scan on my computer wont accept the kinect. Is there a way to get it to work? am i missing a driver? im unsure and you seem to know alot about this and you respond quite alot. so please could you help me out?
@@ManolloMancelli Wrong, that's a classic printer-type usb connector. And it's usb 3.0, recognisable as blue connector instead of white/black (kinect's female connector is an exception)
hi and thank you for the answer. the adapter not want work with it i still have GENERIQUE USB :/ in device manager, and USB Controller problem in kinect check software
Why go through all this trouble, when there is an adapter for the XBox One Kinect that is being sold on eBay that plugs into the wall and the computer?
Lol no. With USB you can just draw 500 amps. If you want more amps you need an adapter. The first Kinect also needs separate power and has no fan at all.
Usb3.0 are rated normally for 1A @5V (which equals 5W) the Kinect need minimum 2A @12v (24W). If you would do this you would burn your Main board or at least destroy your usb3.0 controller
@@scenz7397 Companies like Gigabyte have USB ports specially made for higher power charging / more demanding accessories. They put out 2.7 amps from what I remember seeing, though I don't think any usb ports go much above 5v. That said there is a lot more 12v currents passing through your motherboard and it likely wouldn't be a thing to worry about if the ports could put out the required power to run the device.
@@MidnightMarrow Well yes and no. The standard USB 3.0 is specified for 1.0A @5V. The ports you talk about are the USB 3.1 Gen 2 Ports which often are also known as High Power Port or are also Usb3.1/Thunderbolt Ports. A use Case for these ports is likely the Quick Charge Feature of some devices which use 9 or 12v for faster charging.
damn boy you wrecked the fuck out of these stickers you could have heated them a bit with a hair dryer and carefully removing them and not leaving an ugly sticker behind
but it still will look better... and i see you really wanted it too look better by 3d printing parts for the 12 volt adapter joint and the back of the 12 volt plug
