5dt driver question

All:

When using our 5DT Data Glove 5 Ultra glove, we import it via

Code:
gloveSensor = viz.add('5dt.dls')
If we were to be using both a Data Glove 5 and a Data Glove 14 Ultra, would this same code above be able to distinguish between the two gloves? Or would we need to use a different driver? Of course, due to the different number of sensors on the two gloves, the values sent to/returned from the glove would differ, but I didn't know if the single 5dt.dls driver could drive both gloves.

Thanks!

Hi,

You should be able to connect to 2 gloves by specifying the port for each glove. Example:
Code:
PORT_5DT_USB = 0
glove1 = viz.add('5dt.dls')

PORT_5DT_USB = 1
glove2 = viz.add('5dt.dls')

And that would automatically know that glove1 is the 5 sensor and glove2 the 14 sensor one without any work on our end?

Hi,

You would need to detect that yourself. You can check the length of the data list returned by the gloves to figure out which one is 14 sensor and 5 sensor. The 14 sensor glove will return a longer list.
