Hi.
I just downloaded the WorldViz demo and I'm trying to test out the Ascension Technology Flock of Birds Support. I'm using an ERT so I set the ERC (via dips) as the first bird in the chain..and the bird with the sensor as the second (serial connection is coming from the ERC). Tested this in Winbird...everything working great... full 6dof! Tested the following in WorldViz... and I'm only getting position information (x,y,z)...no orientation (yaw,pitch, roll) import viz viz.go() viz.add( 'tut_ground.wrl' ) PORT_FOB = 1 NUM_FOB = 2 ert = viz.add('flockofbirds.dls') sensor = viz.add('flockofbirds.dls') viz.link(sensor,viz.MainView) Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help! Last edited by TheLostBrain; 05-04-2008 at 05:50 PM. |

I think your addresses might be need to be changed. Can you try the following dip switch settings (be sure to repower the device after changing it):
ERC: 11100001 FOB: 11100010 |

Dip switch 8 is for FLY/TEST mode. (0/Off = Fly, 1/On = Test) Doesn't correspond to the Bird Addressing... Any other ideas? Is there some way to test and see the orientation data that Vizard is getting from the bird? Thanks again |

My mistake, your original settings should be fine then. Not sure what the problem could be. We and other customers have successfully used the ERT with our plugin. I remember having a problem with it once though and we had to reset the device, which is different than repowering it. I forget what the reset procedure is, but if you know then you might want to try it out.
Other than linking the sensor to an object, you could manually retrieve and print the data. Example: Code:
def printEuler(): print sensor.getEuler() vizact.onkeydown(' ',printEuler) |
