Re: simROS.getTime() returns incoherent values

libv_repExtRosInterface.so is bundled with at least the Pro-Edu Linux version of V-REP. However I don't know on which version of ROS they are linked against.

Re: simROS.getTime() returns incoherent values

So, I built v_repExtRosInterface from source (on v3.5.0), and now it works!

Just to know, is there a pre-compiled version of V-REP that is linked against ros kinetic?

Re: simROS.getTime() returns incoherent values

I use the Lua library bundled with V-REP I downloaded here : http://www.coppeliarobotics.com/files/V-REP_PRO_EDU_V3_5_0_Linux.tar.gz I suppose it is double precision float, since single-precision float cannot store precisely "3624673344.0000324" (it would gives something like "3624673...

simROS.getTime() returns incoherent values

Hello all, When I call simROS.getTime(), I get incoherent values, that goes back and forth and are very different from the values I get with the rest of my ROS components: > simROS.getTime() 406881952.0000326 > simROS.getTime() 406216352.0000326 > simROS.getTime() 407266656.0000326 > simROS.getTime(...

Re: Smooth floor

Hi Luberdis,

In case you haven't tried this yet, you could maybe use a Plane?
You will find it in add->primitive shape->Plane

cheers,

Re: Consistently simulating a full scissor parallel system driven by a single joint

Hello, Thanks for your reply! I am actually trying to design a mock scene where the real robot can be seamlessly interchanged by this simulation (using ROS), and therefore need to produce inputs (like the piston velocity command one) that are as close as possible from the real ones. I am therefore b...

Re: Consistently simulating a full scissor parallel system driven by a single joint

I actually realised that the problem was coming from the only actuated joint of the scene : the jack. I mean to control the velocity of this actuator. So I set the properties of the attached joint to : -motor enabled (ON) -target velocity = something small (e.g. 0.01m/s) -maximum force = 1e+10 N (I ...

Consistently simulating a full scissor parallel system driven by a single joint

Hi everyone, I am trying to simulate a single-jack-actuated scissor elevator system, which is a parallel system. The real system, just as the one I try to simulate, only has one actuated (prismatic) joint (the jack) and all others are passive. To build the structure, I joined dynamic pure shapes (I ...
