Problems with linking Sensor to MainView

Dear community,

I have problems linking a tracker to the MainView. I'm trying two approaches, none of them is working right now. I'm using a Nvisor SX 60 HMD with InertiaCube 2+ sensor.

The first approach is using a viztracker, extract from vizsetupcfg.py:

Code:

isense = viz.add('intersense.dle')

headori = isense.addTracker(port=10)

viz.link(headori, viz.MainView)

and simply a 'viztracker.go()' after importing viztracker. The sensor works as wanted, but the MainView is rooted in (0,2,0) which is not where I want it to be, and setting the position of MainView has no effect.

The second approach is updating the Euler of MainView manually without linking, in which case I can set the position of MainView as usual but the sensor keeps spinning around the z-axis without sensor movement.

Is there any solution to either of the two approaches?

Thanks very much in advance!

If you're using the viztracker method you can move the position of the user with the movable node. See the using viztracker page for more information.

Or you can link the viewpoint to the tracker and set the link mask to orientation. That will allow you to move the viewpoint position:

Code:

isense = viz.add('intersense.dle')

oriTracker = isense.addTracker() 

viz.link(oriTracker,viz.MainView, mask = viz.LINK_ORI)

viz.MainView.setPosition([0,1.5,1])

Thanks a lot Jeff, looks like I've missed that part of the documentation! That worked fine!
