SenSable Open Haptics/Vizard SensAble Plugin

[farshizzo]

Are you sure Left is the correct name of the device? If not, leave the name blank, and the plugin will connect to the default device. If you only have one device connected, then you really don't need to specify a name. Try this instead:

device = sensable.addHapticDevice()

THANKS for fixing my dumb mistake! The name was changed.

I just restarted my computer and the error came back

Anymore thoughts? The error seems to be coming from the

device = sensable.addHapticDevice()

If I comment it out I get no error. I'm now leaving it blank because I want the default haptic device object to be connected.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Open Haptics 3.0 x64 onto my Windows 7 64-bit system. Now I just get the following error:

** ERROR: Failed to load plug-in: 'sensable3.dle'

this in turn creates the following as well

 device = sensable.addHapticDevice()
AttributeError: 'VizExtension' object has no attribute 'addHapticDevice'

I get the same errors with all variation of O.H.'s 3.0 and 2.0. I'm guessing for some reason O.H.'s 3.0 can't be found because I know it's installed. My control panel shot is attached.

Any guesses why Vizard thinks Open Haptics isn't installed?

Thanks

This seems to indicate that the 32-bit OpenHaptics 3.0 binaries (i.e. hd.dll and hl.dll) were not installed properly. Even if you are running on a 64-bit system, you still need the 32-bit binaries, since Vizard is a 32-bit application.

You might need to double check with SensAble to make sure their 64-bit installer still supports 32-bit applications.

To make a long story short, I finally found using the newest driver from SensAble's website (4.2.133) instead of what comes packaged with Open Haptics 3.0 (4.2) fixed my problem.

Thanks for your help farshizzo

If I'm now using two devices, how do I determine what the names are?

For instance, previously I could use one device with the following code:

device = sensable.addHapticDevice()

However, now I'm using two devices, and thus need to figure out what their names are. Therefore, how do you determine the names? Where are the names assigned? Is this a guess and check method?

I have tried, Left, Right, left, right, 1,2, and 3 and unfortunately I cannot connect.

Thanks
