When I use the usb cables I have to move the Kinect devise far back as possible the kinect doesn't work. IS there a special kind of cable to get? Can I use a powered USB hub and a very long extension for a printer with the square end on the other side ? |

You'll need an active usb extender. The passive ones are just extension cables and the signal becomes unusable after a certain distance. The active ones boost the signal. You could probably use a powered USB hub as an extender. If you have one, let us know how it works. If not, powered extenders are fairly cheap, there's a link to one on newegg in one of the recent posts. EDIT: Here's the link to the post: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5704 |
