i am trying to use an xbox 360 kinect as a 3D scanner, at first i had to workaround the port to connect it to my linux machine because the port of the kinect is similair to a usb port but a bit different in shape and also contains the same set of wires USB cables have (5v vcc, +data, -data, ground) with an additional 12v wire, i soldered the 4 USB wires to a usb cable i cut open, and then cut open the output end of a spare 12v power supply i had, soldered the ground wire to the other 2 ground wires the usb and kinect's, and then the 12v powersupply wire to the kinect's 12v wire
i connected it to my linux computer powered it on, it flashed it's green lights for a bit and stopped which means it booted, then for the drivers i used freenect, and when i do lsusb, it only detects "Xbox NUI motor" while what should be detected is:
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Motor"
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Audio"
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Camera"
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Motor"
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Motor"
# ATTR{product}=="Xbox NUI Motor"
which means freenect can't interface with the camera
i tried all of the avalible versions of freenect from compiling the source code followed their guide to my distro's repo, and nothing worked for me, i don't know what i should do to fix this, is it a problem with the powersupply i used? this is the one i used
