The Robotics Demonstration and Test team, in the NASA Goddard Satellite Servicing Capabilities Office, used the Orocos ecosystem to control a Motoman SIA10D industrial robot to demonstrate autonomous visual tracking of both cooperative, and uncooperative, targets in microgravity.

Below, the story of an Orocos newbie...

What do I like to do? Get started with Orocos 1.x.

What is my preferred environment? C++, Windows, Eclipse

Is this realistic? I guess so:

• Orocos has a 2.x version, so I suppose 1.x is super-stable and well-documented.
• A first look at the site indicates that "RTT on MS Windows" is supported "out-of-the-box" as of 1.10.0.

So, here we go...

1) Start from http://www.orocos.org/wiki/rtt/rtt-ms-windows.

It indicates that 1.10.0 supports Windows out-of-the box, so that the work-arounds on this page are not needed anymore.

Hi all,

I am using Orocos 1.10 under linux.

I use a component with non periodic activity : do setActivity("MyComponent", 0.0, 0, ORO_SCHED_OTHER )

I create a script with this function :

    //nothing

In the TaskBrowser : - I call MyComponent.test() a first time -> no pb. - I call MyComponent.test() a second time -> i get a segfault, my application crashes

Hello.

I am doing a project with Orocos, and I need an analog output card and a encoder card. The analog output works successfully integrated into Orocos, using the class "ComediDevice" (and the card PCI-1720 by Advantech) but I can't integrate the encoder card.

I've looked at the list of "Supported Hardware" (http://www.comedi.org/hardware) and any two encoder cards appear in the list. Click below to read the rest of this post.

Hi.

Finally I succeeded to install the 1.12.1 version of OCL & RTT (to use the Comedi library), as well as having installed the latest toolchain. Well, I did "make install " (OCL & RTT) and the log show is installed everything correctly (in the correct directories.) - Attachments -

Modifying the component "HelloWorld", I created a function that runs on the "main"

1. include <ocl/dev/ComediDevice.hpp>
2. include <ocl/dev/ComediSubDeviceAOut.hpp>
3. include <rtt/dev/AnalogOutput.hpp>

....

ComediDevice * comediDevAOut; unsigned int minor = 0; ComediDevice com... Click below to read the rest of this post.

Hi

I am using RTT/OCL 1.10

This is due to the fact that the operation is evaluated as 1-(1+1) Is is fixable, or already fixed in a more recent version ? Thanks

Hi all,

I am trying to build orocos-rtt-1.12.1 for powerpc. Click below to read the rest of this post.

The Orocos development team is pleased to announce the first bugfix release of the Real-Time Toolkit v1.12, a C++ toolkit for building component based, real-time robotics and machine control applications. Together with RTT, OCL 1.12.1 is released as well. This release aims at resolving some of the component and plugin loading issues that were discovered after the 1.12.0 release.
