Detailed Description

A EntactDevice is a node for handling communication with a haptics device from Entact.

Note that all EntactDevice nodes in the scene have to use the same way to connect to the device. Either serial number for all, or static IP addresses for all. Getting a connection when using static ip address seems to be more reliable so it the recommended approach.

Examples:

Member Data Documentation

◆ calibrate

H3DUniquePtr< Calibrate > H3D::EntactDevice::calibrate

When a true event is received, the calibration procedure for the device is started.

The calibration procedure depends on the device type.

Access type: inputOnly

◆ ipAddress

H3DUniquePtr< SFString > H3D::EntactDevice::ipAddress

The ip address of the device to use.

If specified only the device with the specified ip address can be initialized by the node. This field is used if serialNumber is -1. Note that all devices in scene must use the same connection approach.

Default value: ""
Access type: initializeOnly

Referenced by EntactDevice(), and initialize().

◆ needsCalibration

H3DUniquePtr< SFBool > H3D::EntactDevice::needsCalibration

This field is true if the device needs to be calibrated.

Access type: outputOnly

Referenced by EntactDevice(), and updateDeviceValues().

◆ serialNumber

H3DUniquePtr< SFInt32 > H3D::EntactDevice::serialNumber

The serial number of the device to use.

If specified only the device with the specified serial number can be initialized by the node. If -1 any Entact device that is connected to the computer can be used. Note that all devices in scene must use the same connection approach.

Default value: -1
Access type: initializeOnly

Referenced by EntactDevice(), and initialize().
