Kinect 2, device in error state

aforetaste · **Joined:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 11:26 am **Posts:** 3

I'm using the iPi 3 software with the Kinect 2 camera type software/hardware installed.
When I run the iPi Recorder, my Kinect 2 shows up but is unaccessible. It has the red warning that says it is "not available" and being a device in error state it can not be used.

Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Hello aforetaste,

Please, try the following steps:

First of all, make sure that Kinect 2 is connected to PC and is connected to AC/DC adapter, and adapter is plugged to power.
Try to connect Kinect 2 to different USB 3.0 port.
Try to reboot.

Thank you, Andrew.
By connecting the Kinect 2 to a different usb 3.0 port that did the trick with the "in error state."

On another note: you can't seem to mix a Kinect 2 along with a Kinect 1. Is that true?
Many thanks!

Yes, unfortunately. They cannot be mixed due to incompatible video modes and different FOVs.
