Using KinCap

This entry is mainly for myself so I can remember what to do to install the Kinect drivers and Point Grey Research drivers.

- FlyCapture2_x86.exe
- openni-win32-1.5.4.0-dev.exe
- nite-win32-1.5.2.21-dev.exe
- SensorKinect092-Bin-Win32-v5.1.2.1.exe
- sensor-win32-5.1.2.1-redist.exe

When installing the FireCapture driver DONT just click next, next, next... otherwise you'll install the USB3 drivers and they'll prevent any other device working on that bus :/
Also ensure you untick the bit that asks to 'let flyCapture manage CPU idle states'..... don't let it!, it's rubbish, It wouldn't throttle down my CPU :(

Also to use the KinCap tool you'll need OpenCV 2.4.3 compiled for the Kinect and PCL 1.6.0 installed.
