CoppeliaSimEdu(v4.2.0) CHAI3D plugin load success. But the demo "02-V-REP-Pioneer.ttt" is not work

Post by zhangm365 »

OS : Win 10 (64bit)
compiler: Visual Studio 2019, Release x64.
CoppeliaSimEdu: V4.2.0( rev.5) 64bit
chai3d version:chai3d-3.2.0-multiplatform
Haptic Devices: Geomagic Touch 3D
----------------------------------

I compile the CHAI3D source code (chai3d-3.2.0-multiplatform) in VS2019, and copy the compiled files "v_repExtCHAI3D.dll" to CoppeliaSimEdu root folder(C:\Program Files\CoppeliaRobotics\CoppeliaSimEdu),the CHAI3D plugin can load success.

But when load the demo "02-V-REP-Pioneer.ttt" and start simulation, the error is as follows:

------------------
[Pioneer_p3dx@childScript:error] [string "Pioneer_p3dx@childScript"]:33: attempt to index a nil value (global 'simCHAI3D')
stack traceback:
[string "Pioneer_p3dx@childScript"]:33: in function 'sim_code_function_to_run'
------------------

How to fix it?

Hello,

the v_repExtCHAI3D.dll source code provided with CHAI3D is outdated. Please use the up-to-date source code from this repository.
Also use the demo scene scenes/hapticRobot.ttt and model models/other/Interface to haptic device.ttm from CoppeliaSim's package.

Cheers

OK, thanks your apply. I have replaced the corresponding file( from ...\chai3d-3.2.0-multiplatform\chai3d-3.2.0\modules\V-REP\src\v_repExtCHAI3D.cpp and v_repExtCHAI3D.h to simExtCHAI3D.cpp and simExtCHAI3D.h) according to your instructions, and pull the [https://github.com/CoppeliaRobotics/common] and [https://github.com/CoppeliaRobotics/include], this is ok ?

However, I can successfully compile the CHAI3D-V-REP-VS2015.sln with VS2019, and copy the generated files(..\chai3d-3.2.0-multiplatform\chai3d-3.2.0\modules\V-REP\bin\win-x64) to folder C:\Program Files\CoppeliaRobotics\CoppeliaSimEdu.
But, the CHAI3D plugin is load failed!

You are using the newest CoppeliaSimLib source code, the one in development. Please use the source code that corresponds to current release, the one with tag coppeliasim-v4.2.0-rev5 and try again.

How to compile this library? Is there a corresponding document?

There is a Qt project file: simExtCHAI3D.pro
If you do not have Qt, you can install it. Otherwise you can try to adapt the MSVC project file from your other source: it shouldn't be too complicated, since you only need following source files from CoppeliaSim:
  • programming/simExtCHAI3D/simExtCHAI3D.h
  • programming/include/scriptFunctionData.h
  • programming/include/scriptFunctionDataItem.h
  • programming/include/simLib.h
  • programming/simExtCHAI3D/simExtCHAI3D.cpp
  • programming/common/scriptFunctionData.h
  • programming/common/scriptFunctionDataItem.h
  • programming/common/simLib.h
Cheers

Ok, we found one and were able to test. On Windows, we compiled it with Qt, using following:

Code: Select all

QT -= core
QT -= gui

TARGET = simExtCHAI3D
TEMPLATE = lib

DEFINES -= UNICODE
DEFINES += QT_COMPIL
CONFIG += shared

INCLUDEPATH += "../include"

*-msvc* {
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -O2
    QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -W3
}

win32 {
    DEFINES += WIN_SIM
    DEFINES += M_PI 3.14159265358979323846
    INCLUDEPATH += "e:/chai3d-3.2.0/external/Eigen"
    INCLUDEPATH += "e:/chai3d-3.2.0/external/glew/include"
    INCLUDEPATH += "e:/chai3d-3.2.0/src"
    LIBS += "e:/chai3d-3.2.0/lib/Release/x64/chai3d.lib"
    LIBS += opengl32.lib
    LIBS += glu32.lib
    LIBS += User32.lib
    LIBS += Winmm.lib
    LIBS += Ole32.lib
    LIBS += Shell32.lib
}

HEADERS += \
    simExtCHAI3D.h \
    ../include/scriptFunctionData.h \
    ../include/scriptFunctionDataItem.h \
    ../include/simLib.h

SOURCES += \
    simExtCHAI3D.cpp \
    ../common/scriptFunctionData.cpp \
    ../common/scriptFunctionDataItem.cpp \
    ../common/simLib.cpp
Use above if you wish to compile with vs, by filling the appropriate project parameters.
You can also contact us for the dll.

Cheers

Thank your introduction!
I've compiled the lib according to your instructions, but there are still the same errors.

The generated library is as follows:

The error is :

I am sorry, I should have said to make sure the include and common repository's version matches current release. Meaning this version of include and that version of common.

Cheers
