5DTgloves integration possible?

d3m0n_X · October 1, 2012, 2:13pm

“Why is there nothing appearing in the Unity GUI? 5DTgloves-Unity integration attempt, is it possible to integrate these two?”

I’ve been trying to integrate my 5DT gloves with Unity using the GloveSampleApp C# (Monodevelop) code provided in the 5dt website. Here are the code, splitted into 2 parts:

FIRST PART:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System;
using System.Timers;
using Gtk;
using FDTGloveUltraCSharpWrapper;

public class NewBehaviourScript : MonoBehaviour
{

//do not modify 
public partial class MainWindow

    private global::Gtk.Button btnConnect;

    private global::Gtk.Entry txtGlovePort;

    private global::Gtk.Label label2;

    private global::Gtk.Label label3;

    private global::Gtk.Label label4;

    private global::Gtk.Label label5;

    private global::Gtk.Entry txtPacketRate;

SECOND PART:

using Gtk;
// This file has been generated by the GUI designer. Do not modify.
namespace Stetic
{
internal class Gui
{
private static bool initialized;

static internal void Initialize (Gtk.Widget iconRenderer)
{
if ((Stetic.Gui.initialized == false)) {
Stetic.Gui.initialized = true;
}
}
}

internal class ActionGroups
{
public static Gtk.ActionGroup GetActionGroup (System.Type type)
{
return Stetic.ActionGroups.GetActionGroup (type.FullName);
}

public static Gtk.ActionGroup GetActionGroup (string name)
{
return null;
}
}
}
And I’m putting the FIRST PART script (NewBehaviourScript) into an empty gameobject but why there’s no response in the GUI Layout?
oh and I’m also using a Windows Form provided by Gtk.gui and from the “shredder2500” UnityAnswer, I know it’s possible to do it, so why is there nothing in my Unity GUI now?
I am very grateful for anyone who could help me, and thanks for the answer… I’ve been doing this for about 6 months and I’ve got no clue at all now…
also, is it even possible to integrate Unity and 5DT technologies? if it’s possible, please give some clue / specific place to learn how to integrate these two technology
I would also very thankful if “Dewald” from 5DT could give some specific help, not just redirecting to download the C# file (again) in 5dt’s website, because it’s useless…

Hi d3m0n_X,

As far as I know a number of our clients have integrated these 2 technologies with success. I myself have very little knowledge of Unity, but I think what would be a good idea is to have a downloadable Unity example on our website.

I’ve contacted one of our previous customers who have used the 5DT Glove in their Unity project to ask for a basic example. When I have received the example I will post the link to it here, otherwise I will create an example and post it on our website (but that might take a bit of time because my boss needs to give me permission to spend time on it)

In the meantime my suggestion is to go about testing each functional part of your program separately to make sure every subset works. For example first check if you can connect to the glove using the Mono example. After this check if your GUI approach is working 100% by trying to create a simple textbox and button and see if you can interact with them. Continue to make small additions, working towards your final target until you can pinpoint the exact problem. When you have a more detailed idea of what component works and what does not work I would love to give you more specific help.

You should also maybe consider if you need the GUI in there at all? Why not just work with the driver directly and move some primitives around as a function of the glove sensor values?

Best Regards, Dewald (dewald.duplooy@5dt.com)

Hi d3m0n_X,

Please find the [4222-unitygloveproject.zip|4222] example of how to use the 5DT Glove with Unity. Please note that you would need a Unity Pro license because the glove driver is a plugin that Unity needs to load.

It will also be available on our website shortly. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

Best Regards,

Dewald (dewald.duplooy@5dt.com)
