Polhemus Patriot Tracking System: Support/Problem

[FrankPSchulte]

Dear Gladsomebeast,

Thanks for your reply, but I checked and there was a PDI.DLL in Vizard30/bin. I put the PiCmdIF.dll there, too, but it didn't help. I' ve also put both of them together with the patriot.dls in vizard30/bin/lib, vizard30/bin/DLLs, vizard30/plug-ins, vizard30/resources, and also in the py's directory, but that didn't help, either: ** ERROR: Failed to load plug-in: 'patriot.dls'.

What to do now?

Greetings from Germany,

Frank

PS: Just to make sure that the code is ok, here the altered code from the automatic.py:

################################################## ##############
# WorldViz Copyright 2002 #
# This script demonstrates how perform head tracking. #
# #
################################################## ###############

import viz

viz.go()

import vizinfo
vizinfo.add('This script demonstrates how to perform automatic head tracking.\nBy default this script will connect to an intersense.\nPress the \'r\' key to reset the tracker')

#Add a ground plane
viz.add('tut_ground.wrl')

#Add the intersense tracker
########################### IMPORTANT ###############################
# When using the intersense plugin, make sure the intersense server #
# is not running in the system tray. It is known to cause problems #
# with the intersense plugin for Vizard. #
################################################## ###################
tracker = viz.add('patriot.dls')
# FRANK: I CHANGED THAT FROM intersense.dls TO patriot.dls
viz.tracker()
tracker.reset()

def mykeyboard(key):

#If the R key is pressed, reset the head orientation
if key in ['r','R']:
tracker.reset()

#Create a keyboard callback
viz.callback(viz.KEYBOARD_EVENT,mykeyboard)
