[SOLVED] How to get the ForceFeedback?

[sayakbiswas]

Hi,

We’re using the NewOmniDriver to interface with the Geomagic Touch devices in our project. We need to retrieve and use the value of the force feedback at a particular moment outside of the NewOmniDriver class but we are unable to get the value in a different plugin. It would be helpful if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Sayak

Dear Sayak,

With the latest version of Geomagic Touch I advise you to use the Geomagic plugin. It has recently been released in the v16.12. All information can be found here.

Example scenes are provided to help you build a simulation with force feedback.
Let me know if this helps.

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Hugo,

Thanks for responding to the post. As our application already uses the existing NewOmniDriver, I decided to proceed with it in order to keep the changes to a minimum. I was able to get the force feedback values in a different plugin by including the Sensable and Open Haptics drivers as library dependencies. Then I was able to follow the driver SingleLink from the scene file and get the instance of the driver and thus the force feedback.

Thanks,
Sayak
