Kinect Blob tracking

Hello I am very new to processing and am basically trying to use blob tracking to make an interactive painting game. My main issue is I can't get any blob tracking to work, the only thing I've got to work is SimpleOpenNI and Blobscanner (blob scanner keeps saying no capture device connected to computer even though simpleopen NI can see my kinect camera.

Any way my question is can anyone help? how do I get Blobscanner to register the kinect or can I add tracking points to the depth in simpleOpenNI I have almost no coding knowlege so an example of this made would be very appreciated.

Side note I'm running on windows,

Thanks in advance.

Have you searched the Forum?? There's LOTS of examples of this here...

I've looked around and found some things on VVVV but keep having this error (the code isn't mine it's an example) so I don't know why it wouldn't work...

"The Public main class must be defined in it's own file"

import oscP5.*;

import netP5.*;

import processing.opengl.*;

import processing.core.PApplet;

import processing.core.PFont;

public class Main extends PApplet {

PFont font;

Cursor[] myCursors;

Tracker myTracker;

static int WIDTH = 1024;

static int HEIGHT = 768;

public void setup() {

background(0);

ellipseMode(CENTER);

rectMode(CENTER);

size(WIDTH, HEIGHT, OPENGL);

framerate(120);

myCursors = new Cursor[10];

myTracker = new Tracker(myCursors);

fill(255);

font = loadFont("Beatbox-10.vlw");

textFont(font, 10);

smooth();

}

public void draw() {

background(0);

myTracker.checkGlobs();

myTracker.draw(g);

//myTracker.clearBlobs();

for (int i = 0; i < myCursors.length; i++) {

if (myCursors[i] != null) {

myCursors[i].draw(g);

}

static public void main(String args[]) {

PApplet.main(new String[] { "vvvv_blobtracker.Main" });

}

Any help will be appreciated.

If you run this in the PDE, you must remove the red line, and the line with main() and the ones belong it.

Thank you so much it actually opened although it just shows http://tinypic.com/r/240zk0m/6 black with white writing but made the video is meant to be shown in VVVV? In VVVV it just shows black as well even though video is on ^^' well thanks for helping me get it open I have a starting point, if you however have any ideas on getting the blob tracking to show, that would be appreciated.
