External IK for Java

Post by BenderBot »

Are there any plans to provide a Java API for the external IK?

Hello,

this is not high-priority. But you could write a Java wrapper yourself ;)

That really is refreshing to know, but I may be surprised if I were the first to write them. I'm still relatively new to programming but will looking into it soon.

This shouldn't be too difficult. You will have to:
  • put the code into a shared library
  • add some Java native interface functions (basically just wrapper functions)
Currently the code of the external IK is still scrambled (remained from before V-REP went open), but it will not be scambled anymore in future releases.

The next release (V-REP 3.0.5) should be out around mid-october 2013.

You can already get the unscrambled version (without the 40000 calls limitation) of the external IK if you contact us directly.

Cheers
