Hey, I've modified the ExampleModel.cc and .hh so that I now have two bodies(segment1 & 2) and a joint attaching them(I don't exactly know how this works). I think I have it set to rotate around the Z axis. I set the joint rotational velocity to a value, and the max force to a value, and nothing happens(unless I put in very large numbers). The two bodies seem to be rotating with one another, when I want segment2 to work like an arm, while segment1 stays stationary. The way I have it now, I think it's trying to rotate around the center of segment2, but I want it to rotate around the end nearest segment1. Any ideas on how to solve this? I've attached the source files and the world file. Thank you, Ryan |

Hello, Have you read the ODE documentation? www.ode.org And also take a look at the Bandit model in Gazebo CVS. It has two articulated arms. You can use this model as a reference point. -nate On 11/27/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > Hey, > > I've modified the ExampleModel.cc and .hh so that I now have two > bodies(segment1 & 2) and a joint attaching them(I don't exactly know > how this works).

Bandit, just so happens to use sgix as the render method, wich, as you noted in my other post, doesn't work on my card. I tried glxp, glx, xlib, and auto, and none of them worked. They all resulted in the server dying without displaying anything. Is there some way I can render this scene? -Ryan On 11/28/05, Nate Koenig <nat...@gm...> wrote: > Hello, > > Have you read the ODE documentation? > www.ode.org > > And also take a look at the Bandit model in Gazebo CVS.

Nate, Apparently the bandit model relies on the pioneer2dx which I was forced to disable during compilation because of the following error during 'make': Pioneer2DX.cc: In member function `virtual void Pioneer2DX::Update(double)'= : Pioneer2DX.cc:446: error: 'class HingeJoint' has no member named 'SetTorque= ' Pioneer2DX.cc:447: error: 'class HingeJoint' has no member named 'SetTorque= ' This being disabled was causing the segfault I mentioned earlier. Any idea why this compile error is happening? -Ryan On 11/28/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > Nate, > > If nothing else, do you have some images of this model somewhere? > This way I can reference the image while looking through the code. > > -Ryan > > > On 11/28/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > > Bandit, just so happens to use sgix as the render method, wich, as you > > noted in my other post, doesn't work on my card.

Hello, I have fixed the Pioneer2DX model. The latest CVS has the changes. Bandit doesn't rely on the Pioneer2DX. All models are independent of each other. No model requires a specific <renderMethod>. The renderMethod is used by a camera to determine how to create a pixel buffer. Since none of the render methods work for you, I must assume you have an ATI graphics card. These cards do not completely support the opengl standard. I believe some people have managed to get them to work. Try searching the mailing lists: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=3D33909 I really must stress that you read the documentation, which has pictures of bandit. http://playerstage.sourceforge.net/doc/Gazebo-manual-cvs-html/group__Bandit= .html -nate On 11/28/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > Nate, > > Apparently the bandit model relies on the pioneer2dx which I was > forced to disable during compilation because of the following error > during 'make': > > Pioneer2DX.cc: In member function `virtual void Pioneer2DX::Update(double= )': > Pioneer2DX.cc:446: error: 'class HingeJoint' has no member named 'SetTorq= ue' > Pioneer2DX.cc:447: error: 'class HingeJoint' has no member named 'SetTorq= ue' > > This being disabled was causing the segfault I mentioned earlier. > Any idea why this compile error is happening? > > -Ryan > > On 11/28/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > > Nate, > > > > If nothing else, do you have some images of this model somewhere? > > This way I can reference the image while looking through the code. > > > > -Ryan > > > > > > On 11/28/05, Repiphany <rep...@gm...> wrote: > > > Bandit, just so happens to use sgix as the render method, wich, as yo= u > > > noted in my other post, doesn't work on my card.

Hello Nate, I must apologize, when I said Bandit model, I actually meant the bandit world. In the bandit world the bandit model is attached to the pioneer2DX model. Also, the reason it wasn't rendering was not due to the render method, it was due to my disabling of the pioneer2dx ie: './configure --disable-pioneer2dx' Since in bandit.world the pioneer2dx is included by default, and that model hadn't been built, gazebo oh so gracefully segfaulted. After I fixed the perpetrating code in the pioneer2dx model, everything compiled fine, and I was able to direct render again using the glxp method. Thanks for fixing that in CVS, it makes it just that much easier for someone who downloads CVS naively expecting it to compile. ;-) I must also apologize for asking about the images. I had seen them before, but I didn't make the connection when I was looking at the code, and by that point I had already lost a lot of interest in reading pure code labeled as "documentation." Doxygen is a nice tool, but it's not meant to replace *actual* documentation, just to aide in it's creation. I have a few reservations about the current state of documentation, but I will address those more thoroughly later. This is one of the things I would like to improve upon. Any suggestions on where to post a message dealing with docs? I'll default to the gazebo list, since that's mostly all I'm interested in. Also, I have no problems with my video card rendering using the glx and glxp methods. I was able to get these to work some time ago by reading your conversations with numerous other individuals.=20 Fortunately, I already had direct rendering configured, and I simply needed to download CVS and use the glxp method. Back to the original intent of this thread. I was able to successfully hinge two bodies together by modifying my code to more closely resemble the bandit model. I was not correctly setting the initial position of the bodies of the segments, and the position of my anchor was off. I will clean up the code for this very simple joint and post it with a simple hinge joint howto ( after I learn :-P ).=20 There are still a couple things that I couldn't glean from the ode docs, but hopefully I'll figure them out from a little more experimentation. You don't necessarily have to answer these, I'll post my findings later. (These are still very rough, and wholly based on guesses) -What effect does moving the Body have? I tried changing the position of the body in all three axes, but I couldn't tell any difference in it's reaction to being dropped from various heights. The Body holds the mass information, but apparently the position of the body is different from the Center of Mass? -When using setRelativePos() during geometry setup, what determines the point that this vector is relative to? Is this determined from whether or not the geom is attached to a canonical body? It seems that when I change the values for the geom attached to the first body, it's absolute(relative to the origin), because if I change the values of the body position, the block doesn't appear to move, is this right? Thank you for all of your help, I couldn't have gotten my simulation to work without it. -Ryan P.S. - Yesterday I registered an IRC channel called #gazebo on the FreeNode server. I think this will be a beneficial forum for gazebo users/developers to discuss things a bit more...interactively. I'm always signed in, so feel free to stop by.

The Body holds > the mass information, but apparently the position of the body is > different from the Center of Mass? The position of a Body is it's abosulte location in the world. So if you move a body to (1,2,3), it will be positioned at x=3D1, y=3D2, z=3D3. The center of mass of a body is relative to the body. Take a look at Body::UpdateCoM in Body.cc > -When using setRelativePos() during geometry setup, what determines > the point that this vector is relative to?

SetRelativePos moves the Geom relative to the body it is attached to. Try creating and moving the body, then attach a geom to it and set its relative position. > P.S. - Yesterday I registered an IRC channel called #gazebo on the > FreeNode server.

Hello Nate, Do you have any idea why the joint interface would not be displayed for the bandit model? The position iface works for other models, but when I click the check box for the joint iface, nothing shows up. I compared the initializations of both interfaces, and they look nearly identical with the exception of a missing assert() in the bandit model. Thanks, Ryan |
