Compact program to send data from the Leap Motion Sensor to the Hedgehog (or any other controller that can run python)
This script requires Python2.7 and the Leap Motion Drivers.
run: python2.7 -c "import distutils.sysconfig as c; print(c.PREFIX)"
append /lib/libpython2.7.dylib to the path
run:
install_name_tool -change /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python \
***python2.7path***/lib/libpython2.7.dylib \
LeapPython.so
on client: python2.7 main.py
on server: python3 server.py
:)
- Make sure the ports in both server.py and send.py match up and set the correct ip in send.py
- Start server.py on the receiving end (hedgehog).
- Start main.py on your Leap Motion Device and make sure the ports and IP match up. The Leap Motion only reads data if the window the script is running in is in focus.
Sometimes the Leap Motion isn't able to connect to the python script, so here is a list of all the quick fixes:
- Stop the script and start it again until it connects
- Stop the Leap Motion driver and restart the script
- While the program is still running plug out the Leap Motion and plug it back in
- Start the Leap Motion Visualizer from the driver menu
- If nothing else works, restart the computer and make sure the leap drivers don't start up again.
