Hi Sebastian > Just out of curiosity, what were the problems with using emcrsh?
See my other posting. > Does the MicroScribe device connect to the PC via USB? Yes. > Does it show up as a HID device? Hmm, I don't know. At least it's not obviously a HID. I used a DLL provided by the manufacturer as part of the SDK for Windows to communicate with the digitiser. The strange thing is that the documentation says it's also compatible to MacOS X and IRIX but I cant see how to access the MicroScribe from OS X or IRIX. > If so, it will probably be fairly easy to get > raw "joint" data into HAL, you'd probably still > have to do the inverse kinematics to translate > that into usable world coordinates. Kinematics (forward kinematics, actually) seams to be performed by the digitiser hardware. At least some data types defined in the header file for the Windows library suggest that. I found this Python code (part of ROS, Robot Operating System) that seams to communicate with the digitiser directly, but I'm not sure what it relay does: http://www.ros.org/doc/api/microscribe/html/microscribe_8py_source.html Is anyone familiar whit Pythen, USB and ROS?
