RTT 2.x

Orocos Toolchain v2.5.0 released !

The Orocos development team is proud to announce the fifth major release of the Orocos Toolchain. It's a fat month late, partly due to your maintainer being loaded, partly due to the had-to-fix-show-stoppers that popped up the last month. The end result is shining though.

logging linker configuration (cmake)

Hi developers,

I'm try to use OCL::logging for realtime logger on my components. But I don't found the method to declare correctly the use of the library OCL::logging on the Linker.

I try to use something directly on my CMakeList.txt like:

target_link_libraries(myDriver ${rtt_PACKAGE_PATH}/install/lib/orocos/${OROCOS_TARGET}/ocl/liborocos-ocl-logging-${OROCOS_TARGET}.so)

but the compilation appear with errors:

> make
 
Makefile:7: This Makefile builds this package with default settings
mkdir -p build
cd build ; cmake .. Click below to read the rest of this post.

Orocos Script vs Lua Script

Hi Developers & Users,

Somebody can show me about the differences between Orocos Scripting and Lua Scripting? because my first impression is that with both we can configurate the same things and have more or less the same powerfull, but the Orocos Script shows as more clean than Lua. What's the differences for choose them?

Thanks in advance, Toni

KDL | ABB 6400 kinematic model || external axis

hi,

I've adapted the example KUKA definition to an ABB IRB6400. The next step is to model external axis; for instance a linear track and an orbit table [ aka welding table ]. I can still picture modeling the linear track as a segment that precedes the first joint, though I have a harder time coming up with a way to model the external axis. Perhaps what I'm struggling with is largely semantically; I need to adapt my [limited] understanding of things to KDL's semantics. Click below to read the rest of this post.
