Vicon plug-in

[sscovil]

Hello, my name is Stephen. I'm doing a little bit of work on this project for the time being.

I found out why the body positions weren't updating, and it was a particular setting on the vicon side (we needed to enable 'kinematic data' to be output in the real-time stream).

Now, how do I get the orientation from the body? Is there a getOrientation()-like function or do I need to figure it out from the body position information?

You can use one of the following functions to get orientation data from a body:

quat = body.getQuat() #[x,y,z,w] quaternion rotation
euler = body.getEuler() #[yaw,pitch,roll] euler rotation in degrees
axisAngle = body.getAxisAngle() #[x,y,z,deg] axis-angle rotation
mat = body.getMatrix() #4x4 transform matrix including position and rotation

Hope this helps.

Perfect, that's exactly what was needed. Thanks!
