linking Patriot and 5DT glove

[Veronika]

Hello, I want to link polhemus patriot and 5DT glove. Can you help me? I dont know, which order I need use.

Thanks

The following should show a hand that's animated with glove data and moves with the Patriot sensor. Does this work for you?

import viz
import hand
viz.go()

#Identify the data glove's port.
PORT_5DT_USB = 0

#Add the 5DT sensor
sensor = viz.add('5dt.dls')

#Create a hand object from the data glove
glove = hand.add(sensor,hand.GLOVE_5DT)

#Connect to Patriot sensor
polhemus = viz.add('polhemus.dle')
patriot = polhemus.addPatriot()

#Link the hand to the Patriot data
viz.link(patriot,glove)

[Veronika]

yes, I have this code:

import viz
import hand
viz.go()

viz.MainView.translate(0,0.02,-0.4)
viz.clearcolor(viz.GRAY)

PORT_5DT_USB = 0
sensor = viz.add ('5dt.dls')
glove = hand.add(sensor,hand.GLOVE_5DT)


polhemus = viz.add('polhemus.dle')
patriot = polhemus.addPatriot()

viz.link(glove,patriot)

but if I press F5 for starting, vizard write:

** ERROR: Failed to load plug-in: 'polhemus.dle'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 11, in ?
File "Vizard2.py", line 14, in ?
patriot = polhemus.addPatriot()
AttributeError: 'VizExtension' object has no attribute 'addPatriot'
** Load Time: 0.48 seconds

and I don't know, what is a problem. But if I play another application, all is OK.

yes, this work is for me.

and if I change last link (patriot and glove)

viz.link(glove,patriot)
viz.link(patriot,glove)
it's same problem

[Jeff]

Do you get an error when you run the following:

import viz
viz.go()

polhemus = viz.add('polhemus.dle')

[Veronika]

yes, I have error:

** ERROR: Failed to load plug-in: 'polhemus.dle'

could you help me with this problem?

[Jeff]

Try re-installing Vizard and let us know if that helps.

[Veronika]

OK, I will try to install Wizard - trial version in my notebook. because on our university I don't know passport for re-installing. thank

If Vizard is already licensed, you won't need to enter a serial number when re-installing. Our downloads page has a link to the latest Vizard installers.
