Re: Trying to read from a file

Try escaping the backslashes in your file path.

Re: source code for v-rep simulations

I'm not sure what you mean -- isn't all the relevant code in child scripts in the examples?

"Relative to" radio buttons

In both the "Inertia Matrix" and the "Object/Item position/orientation" dialog windows, there are radio buttons that specify what the coordinates are relative to. It would be really cool if the coordinates were recalculated to stay up-to-date when a different radio button is sele...

Save Format and Version Control

Would it be possible to allow saving in a text-based format that would work better for version control?
Most specifically, it would be really nice to see what's changed in a child script. More generally, it would be cool if the whole scene were represented textually.
Thanks!

Re: Joint coming apart

The joints are actuated, so a spherical joint is unfortunately out of the question.
Thanks for the tip about Asti—I'll try to replicate that setup. Just gotta do some math to balance out the masses and rotational inertias.

Re: Joint coming apart

I've been thinking about how to redesign our robot model (it looks like our problem is the link-mass proportion), and I've got a follow-up question: if you were trying to make a universal joint between two large masses, how would you do it? In real life, this uses a small-mass link between two large...

Joint coming apart

I have a robot with a 3-dof hip joint, using three revolute joints. When I start the simulation, the robot's body pitches forward, not because the pitch joint changes position but because the hip roll joint comes apart. The blue joint core separates from the orange outside cylinder. Am I doing somet...

Get joint velocity

I am trying to read the velocity of a joint, and I'm having trouble. I am using the following code: handle = simGetObjectAssociatedWithScript(sim_handle_self) print(simGetObjectFloatParameter(handle, 2012)) The "2012" comes from here : 2012: float parameter (can only be read) : joint veloc...
