I am making a plugin to use the XV-11 LIDAR with the GetSurreal 1.2 controller in ARC, but I am having an issue on step 6.5 of the plugin tutorial. I tried creating the stub plugin and going to my plugins, but I get a 404 error.
Just letting you know. Let me know if there is anything I can do to get the XML file that is required.
Thanks David
Here is how this works... If the reading is less than the first setting then the first color will be used.
If the reading is greater than the first setting and less than the second setting, setting, the second color will be used.
If the reading is greater than the last setting, the last color is used.
Version 6 - 12/23/2015 4:47 PM CST Last update for the day I think Smile All of the config settings are moved to a panel which is displayable by selecting the Configure button.
Text from variables can now be displayed on the map. You can add up to 16 variables that you would like displayed. These will list down in the order that you have these configured on the configuration screen.
You can change the color of the text that is displayed for these values from the color combo box that is below the list of variables. If there is an error in a name of a variable, this and all subsequent variables will not be displayed.
If I get bored tomorrow, I will work on adding the ability to change the font for these variables. This sounds challenging and fun
Hey David not sure what's happening but your plug-in seems to be locking up now I've got the latest version I believe at six
I go into the config file and adjust my map settings and the color backgrounds I'm not using variables when I save it and start nothing shows on the map when I stop the little square comes up indicating the location of the lidar I played around with this and still nothing on the screen I've also tried to zoom not working
When I stop the Leinaar it shows stop on the little icon but then I cannot restart it only way I can get back in because it locks up ez robot at least mine it locks up I cannot Close the window I have to going to task manager and kill the app I jumped from version for diversion six so I'm not sure if version five was working any ideas thanks Sorry for no punctuation marks I'm talking to my phone
Okay. I will look to see if I see anything. I'll clear my config file and see what happens.
I think I know what is happening when your stopping. I think the com port is having issues closing out.
My wife has taken my seat to get her Christmas present setup. I got her one of the new huge ipads. She loves ipads for some reason. When she gets up, I will take a look.
Thanks David I also use iPads at work I think they're great too
I loaded the plugin on a tablet PC to test it out. One important thing with this sensor is that you want to be sure to use a powered hub if you are using a tablet or a small PC. It pulls more power than a usb 2 port can provide. A usb 3 port is probably fine as that is what I used while programming it.
I don't know if this is an issue or not for you Merne but just wanted to document this somewhere for those who are looking at this sensor.
I will still need to wait for my wife as my powered usb hub is being used now by her.
I installed the latest version of ARC on the tablet and downloaded version 6 of the plugin. I ran the plugin and tested it with one variable. I stopped the lids are via the button in the controll and the restarted it. It looked good. I started and stopped the lid are 3 times and then saw what you see. It locked ARC but I was able to stop ARC by right clicking on the icon in the task bar and choosing close. It closed from there.
I will look at what is happening tomorrow. I suspect that I will just need to make sure the com port is closing but I will figure out what is hanging it up tomorrow.
