Labbook IMAV

Started Labbook 2020.

December 19, 2019

Placed a pre-order for a Intel RealSense LiDAR L515. Will be shipped in April 27, 2020.
Had to create a new Intel account, couldn't find my old accounts.

Received the Structure Core ST02D-C. Under Windows, drivers were directly installed.
Downloaded OpennI 2.20.33 Beta for the SDK.
Tried the NiViewer, but both Core and the RealSense were not seen (DeviceOpen using default: no devices found). Also tried it with the Thunderbolt cable, same result.
Seems that the drivers of both sensors have to be copied to the OpenNI/Drivers directory.
The DeviceManager indicated that the drivers where not installed. Applied to the developers program and downloaded the Structure SDK (Cross-Platform) 0.6.1. Read the documentation and started the Visual Studio Structure.sln project in VS2017. There are three example solutions, all fail to build because WindowsSDK version 10.0.16299.0 was not found. Changed the Windows SDK version in Properties to 10.0.17134.0 and was able to build the Recorder. Saw first image from the Core sensor:
In the SDK there is a driver install application. No information is given what is installed, but the DeviceDriver now recognizes the device. Driver-properties is INU_NU3000_modified.inf (30/11/2016).
There are actually two OpenNI/Drivers directories, also one in the Tools directory. Copied from the VS2017 directory both Structure.lib and Structure.dll to those directories. Searching for Structure.sys. Nothing there. Would expect a Structure.ini and Structure.pdb
Read the documentation how to configure the NiViewer to work with the Structure Sensor. Updated PS1080.ini, but still no device found.
