Geomagic Plugin (unable to use haptic device) #3117
-
|
Hi, I am trying to use the geomagic plugin examples, yet I am unable to use my haptic device in the scene. Do I need to specify where my device is? I followed the procedure on https://www.sofa-framework.org/community/doc/plugins/usual-plugins/geomagic/ and still cant use the haptic device in the SOFA environment. I also am getting the following warnings from SOFA when I load the appropriate geomagic example scene: This scene is using component defined in plugins but is not importing the required plugins.
Your scene may not work on a sofa environment with different pre-loaded plugins.
To fix your scene and remove this warning you just need to cut & paste the following lines at the beginning of your scene (if it is a .scn):
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.AnimationLoop"/> <!-- Needed to use components [FreeMotionAnimationLoop] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Collision.Detection.Algorithm"/> <!-- Needed to use components [BVHNarrowPhase, BruteForceBroadPhase, DefaultPipeline] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Collision.Detection.Intersection"/> <!-- Needed to use components [LocalMinDistance] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Collision.Geometry"/> <!-- Needed to use components [LineCollisionModel, PointCollisionModel, TriangleCollisionModel] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Collision.Response.Contact"/> <!-- Needed to use components [DefaultContactManager] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Constraint.Lagrangian.Correction"/> <!-- Needed to use components [UncoupledConstraintCorrection] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Constraint.Lagrangian.Solver"/> <!-- Needed to use components [LCPConstraintSolver] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Controller"/> <!-- Needed to use components [MechanicalStateController] -->
<RequiredPlugin name="Sofa.Component.Haptics"/> <!-- Needed to use components [LCPForceFeedback] -->Additionally, is it possible to program the device/devicedriver using the python plugin? I see that all your examples use XML with this plugin but I was curious if there is a way to create the driver (outlined in the above link) using python? Thank you so much for your continued help and support! |

for some reason the errors wont show when I copy and past them but this is an example of one of them. I don't think this would be related to the haptic device failing but? |

Hey @hugtalbot The above in my initial post is the entire command log. Here another example trying to use the geomagic - liver example. |

This is only a warning telling you to add the following lines of RequiredPlugin. |

I do not. It also appears that the haptic device is not rendering properly? |

the version of sofa I am using is 22.00.69, when I run in 21.12.00 it loads the model and is able to work properly. Is this possibly because this release is still in the beta phase? |

In your first image, I see a python error. Is this normal? It can definitely affect the good initialization of the scene. |

In the first picture that was because I tried to open the wrong file, then did it again with the correct file. I ran it again to ensure this is not the case, as seen in the attached image. |

Again, this is just using the v22.00 release, when I run the demo using v21.12 the component state is valid. Thank you for your help! |

Hi,
Point 1 and 2 are easy to checked on your side. Point 3, Indeed some error logs are missing. I will add them. Erik |

You say that you are using the binary version of SOFA. However, the binary version does not include the Geomagic plugin to interface SOFA with Geomagic haptic interfaces. At least not in the v21.12. Are you using binary version from a summer school ? With only SOFA binaries, it is indeed hard to investigate which of the three tracks given by @epernod is causing your issue. |

you are using directly the binary version? you don't have access to the code? |

Yes I am using this binary https://project.inria.fr/softrobot/install-get-started-2/download/. I will investigate this using the DependencyWalker as suggested. Thank you sm! |

Dear @griffinandrew You will indeed need to compile the sources of the Geomagic plugin 👍 |

I think this last comment closes this topic, right @griffinandrew ? |

Hi,
I just checked in the code, there is 3 reasons why this component could be set to invalid:
Point 1 and 2 are easy to checked on your side. Point 3, Indeed some error logs are missing. I will add them.
