haptic-glove-ros

Repository containing the code to communicate with the haptic-glove

Check repo readme

To use this repo:

• Install Arduino IDE 1.6.8 or newer;

• open the haptic_glove_driver sketch with it and go to File->Preferences;

• In Additional Boards Manager URLs: insert https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenHAK/Simblee/master/package_openhak_index.json;

• go to Tools->Board and select the BoardManager. Thus search for the OpenHAK boards;

• go to Tools->Board and select the OpenHAK board;

• Attempt compilation with the Verify Button;

• In case of issues with the strings some of the libraries may need to be edited (related to the macro F)

• run the launch file roslaunch haptic_glove_ros haptic_glove.launch dev_path:=/dev/ttyUSB0 specifing the USB port of the glove.

Another way is to run the serial node autonomously rosrun rosserial_python serial_node.py /dev/ttyUSB0 _baud:=250000. In many cases it gets problems if it is launched from launch file. roslaunch haptic_glove_ros haptic_glove.launch dev_path:=/dev/ttyUSB0 baud_rate:=250000 launches the application nodes that control the vibration using the optoforce topics.
