Re: Why the Revolute joint break when the acceleration happens to the child object of the joint?

Precisely because joints are modeled as ideal kinematic constraints, they do not allow any motion except those granted by the joint degree of freedom. For a revolute joint, that is rotation about the axis, no other motion should happen between the two bodies. Only in an "ideal" world. In ...

Re: vision sensor error

So, does print not work at all? Try in a simple script, e.g.: function sysCall_init() print('Hello') end if it works, then you have some other kind of issue in your code. But you posted incomplete code which is not possible to debug for us. Btw, in your code, if numBlobs is 0 , that print (depthV) l...

Re: vision sensor error

the code gives error saying 'attempt to perform arithmetics on a nil value' which traces back to depth=nearClip+(farClip-nearClip)*depthV[1] (traceback of the error to this function) it means one of those values (either nearClip , farClip or depthV[1] ) is nil. Also, I'm unable to see the output in...

Re: Designing an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot: Confusion Arising from KUKA Omnirob Model

Not sure about the kinematics of the real robot, but in that CoppeliaSim model that seems to implement the solid axle , i.e. a rigid axle with a perpendicular joint allowing for axle roll, which is generally used to ensure better contact with terrain (otherwise, with rigid body simulation engines, t...

Re: set an object as model base programmatically

Hi, you can set an object as model by removing the sim.modelproperty_not_model bit, e.g.: modelProp = sim.getModelProperty(objectHandle) modelProp = modelProp & ~sim.modelproperty_not_model sim.setModelProperty(objectHandle, modelProp) or you can compose (with bitwise "or", e.g. sim.mo...

Re: How to obtain handles from objects in scene in plugin

There's a regular API for C/C++ plugins as well.

If in embedded scripts you would use sim.getObject to retrieve the handle of an object, in a plugin you would use simGetObject: https://manual.coppeliarobotics.com/en/ ... ct_cpp.htm

Re: graphs

It is highly recommended to use the ZeroMQ remote API, since it is much easier and flexible. Additionally, you'll have access to many more API functions, than with the legacy remote API.

The legacy remote API is not supported anymore since a long time.

Re: graphs

You can call any function defined in a child script from external programs (e.g. remote API clients). So you can have a Lua function in a child script to make several readings and return a table of values, e.g.: sim = require('sim') function sysCall_init() sensorHandle = sim.getObject('...') sensorD...

Re: Running Multiple Headless Simulation

If you don't use the WebSockets Remote API nor the WebSockets (simWS) plugin, you can safely ignore that error.

You can pass command line option -GwsRemoteApi.autoStart=false to disable the WebSockets Remote API Server if you don't want to see that error.
