This is curious. This is the name of the package in XML file: https://github.com/jhu-saw/sawNDITracker/blob/master/ros/package.xml Did you source your catkin_ws/devel/setup.bash after building the package?

thanks ,I solved the problem and I can run the node .now Ihave andi polaris vega and it communicates using ethernet，but your code is using serial port . can i use your package to get transform information？and how？thank a lot. 在 2018-10-15 22:36:42，"Anton Deguet" <notifications@github.com> 写道： This is curious.

Hello, As mentioned in the README we haven’t tested this code on the NDI Vega and since I don’t have access to one it’s going to be hard to help. But I looked at the specs on NDI’s website and they claim the Vega has an API similar to the serial port based trackers and integration should be fairly easy. I would suspect they use either UDP or TCP for the communication layer and then use the same commands. I don’t have access to the Vega specs or programming guide but if feel like trying to implement support for the Vega, let us know and we might be able to help. Anton

Thank you, Today, I test the NDI's demo, and transplant the code to Linux&QT．Ｎｏｗ I can receive the data from NDI Vega by using the NDI's API such as connect(hostname); getTrackingDataBX2(); and so no. It definity use the TCP for the communication layer. My ｆｏｌｌｏｗｉｎｇ work is to build my own ROS node to transmit the NDI's tracking data to TF lib.

Hi guys,
I am a bit new to Linux. Obviously you already managed to run this repo to some extent.

My question is that how should I run this repo?
I think I need to install this repo first in order to be able to use it?
So I did:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

So now how can I run this? I don't know what I should type in terminal.
I am trying to communicate with a NDI Aurora tool tracker.

Cheers,
Jacob

First, make sure the binaries have been properly compiled and installed. Do you see anything that looks like sawNDITracker in /usr/local/bin?

My guess is that the code is not properly compiled as you didn't mention compiling the cisst libraries.

If you happen to use Ubuntu and ROS you can find some instructions here: https://github.com/jhu-cisst/cisst/wiki/Compiling-cisst-and-SAW-with-CMake#13-building-using-catkin-build-tools-for-ros -- we use ROS for most applications so it's the most supported approach, this will cover the cisst libraries as well as the programs for the NDI trackers. If you don't know ROS, I'd recommend you take a look.

If you don't use ROS, you will need to first get and compile the cisst libraries: https://github.com/jhu-cisst/cisst Make sure you have Qt installed (see in ROS section which apt-get install are recommended). Then run CMake on cisst and make sure Qt is found. You will need the libraries cisstCommon, cisstVector, cisstOSAbstraction and cisstMultiTask turned on (it should be the default). Then do make, make install. At that point, check that the cisst libraries are showing up in /usr/local/lib. With cisst installed, re-run CMake for sawNDITracker, make and make install.

Thank you very much for the steps.
I don't use ROS. I just need to track a robotic arm which is moving and I am not controlling it.
My next quetion is that does sawNDITracker toolbox provide time stamp for every sample? The NDI tracker software which comes with the Aurora sensor, does not give me the time stamp for every sample.

Anton Deguet · Answer 8 · Fri Jul 30 2021 21:45:50 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Regarding time stamps, the existing code creates a time stamps based on the time the PC receives the data (not when the devices performs the actual tracking). The timestamp is then passed along in the ROS messages.

Regarding building the code, we strongly recommend to use ROS and the catkin build tools. To get the code, use the .rosintall file with wstool. The process is similar to the one described in: https://github.com/jhu-dvrk/sawIntuitiveResearchKit/wiki/CatkinBuild#catkin-build-and-rosinstall

Finally, this code doesn't work with Ethernet based NDI devices, namely the Polaris Vega. We don't have such device handy so we can't really support it.
