Importing hd

[vjosh]

Hey,

I downloaded the "SensAble Haptic Device" demos and tried to run one of them, but I get the following error:
** ERROR: Failed to load modifier C:\Program Files\Vizard25\plug-ins\hd.dlm

And below that:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 12, in ?
File "Copy of demo.py", line 8, in ?
hd.add(box)
File "C:\Program Files\Vizard25\python\hd.py", line 244, in add
node._hapticID_ = _hd_.get()[0]
TypeError: unsubscriptable object

I looked in the relevant directory and found that hd.dlm exists, but some reason it's not loading correctly. Do you have a newer version of hd.dlm?

Thanks ahead of time!

Hi,

You need the OpenHaptics library installed on your computer for the hd plugin to load correctly. The OpenHaptics library is made by Sensable, and I believe it is a commercial product.

Hi,

Is there some documentation about the functions hd.dlm?

Take a look a the SensAble (http://docs.worldviz.com/vizard/#SensAble_Haptic_Devices.htm) documentation for using their haptic devices with Vizard.
