vicon.dle error

[deuce168]

Very interesting problem I'm having trying to establish a connection from Vizard 5 to Vicon Nexus.

3 Things tend to happen:

15% of the time, a connection is established successfully to the Nexus, which is the most frustrating part of this problem.

The rest of the time, it either gets stuck during viz.add("vicon.dle", 0, VICON_IP) and requires a manual termination of the script from task manager, or it generates an error saying connection could not be established.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any extra information you might need can be provided. Thanks in advance!

Unless you're using an older version of Nexus it's likely the streaming protocol is not compatible with the Vizard plug-in.

Do you have Vicon Tracker? If so you could use VRPN to stream the data to Vizard. The last time I checked Nexus did not support VRPN. You might ask Vicon support to see if that's changed.

I created an open source method to stream Nexus to Vizard. Hopefully it might be useful to you.
