Revision history [back]

If all you need is multiple kinects, you should use the raw (non-ROS) openni driver, found here: http://www.openni.org/downloadfiles/opennimodules with documentation here: http://www.openni.org/documentation . This driver should work on Windows. Getting ROS up and running on Windows is a whole different beast, and if all you need is the kinect, not the right solution.

Keep in mind that a kinect will saturate an entire USB bus: so if you want a computer to have multiple kinects, make sure they are on different physical USB buses.
