Connected outuput

It would be great to have an output so it was possible to see if the kinect is connected. An IsConnected outputpin, perhaps with an ID if multiple kinects are connected

Hi @sunep , thanks for bringing this up.

The Kinect2 node already has an IsOpen output pin. This is directly forwarding what the SDK exposes as described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/kinect/dn758619(v=ieb.10).

Is this not what you are looking for?

While looking at this I noticed there is an additional property we did not expose called IsAvailable which is described here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/kinect/dn758615(v=ieb.10). However, it seems to only become true once the sensor is opened, which would imply you could just use IsOpen

As for the ID for the scenario of multiple Kinect2 sensors being connected simultaneously, I am afraid the Microsoft SDK we use only allows a single Kinect2 per machine, so this would not really be that helpful.
