Problem viztracker values

[befl0]

Hi,

I used a tracker with a vrpn. Sometimes when I do a tracker.getData() and I put it in 8 values, a mistake appears because there are " too many values to unpack" but sometimes it's working perfectly. I realy don't understand why and where I can fixed the problem. I think it's a problem of connection but I am not sure. If you can help me how to find the solution.

Thanks,

Can you post the code you're using to access the VRPN tracker and save the data to the 8 values? Also, can you post the Vizard output and error messages?

The code to access to the vrpn tracker is :


def bigAndSmall():
while True:
yield viztask.waitTime(0.0001)
x, z, y, h, p, r, ang_der, ang_izq = tracker.getData()


And the error is : File "viztracker.py", line 56, in bigAndSmall
x, z, y, h, p, r, ang_der, ang_izq = tracker.getData()
ValueError: too many values to unpack
check_vrpn_cookie(): VRPN Note: minor version number doesn't match: (prefer 'vrpn: ver. 07.31', got 'vrpn: ver. 07.30 0'). This is not normally a problem.

Thanks,

That error means there are more than 8 values being returned. You could save the values to a list and then extract the first 8.

data = tracker.getData()
x = data[0]
