fosi.h compilation error - xenomai 2.5.1

I am trying to compile RTT-1.10.2 against a Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.32.7, Xenomai 2.5.1.

What I've done so far, following the standard intallation procedure on the orocos-1.10.2 directory: mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. Click below to read the rest of this post.

Straping a component.

Hi.

I have a component that would have, for instance, two ports, like this :

    RTT::ReadDataPort<double>  m_in_foo_port;
    RTT::WriteDataPort<double> m_out_foo_port;
 
    RTT::Property<bool>        m_strap_property;

So when both ports are connected i have this :

 in_foo    out_foo <----connection_object----> remote_foo_reader

If the strap property is enable, i would like to transform this scheme to an other like this :

remote_foo_writer  <----connection_object----> remote_foo_reader

[Advices for me?] Problems while constructing a GUI (Window using Qt) that works with Orocos on background. With Qt, not Orocos.

This post is basically to ask an advice while constructing a GUI window using Qt that uses Orocos from background.

My application works with an Activity of 0.001 seconds and is a Data Aquisition Software for a Hall Thuster. Click below to read the rest of this post.

Modifying properties from program scripts

Hi,

The component builders manual mentions how to call/fire elements from
the public API of a taskcontext:
- Methods (section 3.2.7)
- Functions (3.2.8)
- Events (3.2.9)

Extrapolating this, I was expecting section 3.2.10 to deal with
getting/setting attributes/properties from program scripts?
Is the latter possible, and
- if yes: how?
- if no: is there a particular reason for this?

TIA,

old kdl version download

Hi,

For a legacy code, I need the KDL version before the release 1-0-0. I would be grateful if it is available on the web, or if you could help me with the necessary svn update command (I am not very familiar with svn, I understand it does not support sticky tags unlike cvs, and besides, which version number should I use for updating to a stable previous release?) I have search through the forum to see if this question has been posted before, but I couldn't see it, apologies if the question has already been asked previously.

Thanks in advance,

Hande

Timer timeouts

Hi,

consider the FSM in attach. It should switch to the second state
after 4 seconds (which it does), and to the 3 state after 14 seconds
(4+10). However, it also switches to state 3 after 4 seconds (i.e.
immediately).
I have tested with both 1.8 and 1.10. Component and deployers file attached.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thx,

Klaas

Memory Allocation on StateMachine->activate()

Hi,

During tests, I found that the activate of a statemachine makes a memory allocation. When a RT component uses a statemachine with submachines, I think (pretty sure ?!) the component needs to be running to activate the submachine (the submachine needs the component is running to execute its InitState where is the activate of the submachine).

So the first (and only the first) run of the RT component makes a memory allocation. Does anybody has the same problem ... and does anybody has an idea to solve or get round it?

Thanks a lot

Updated MacPorts portfiles

I have updated the portfiles to support installation on Mac OS X via MacPorts. This brings support to

RTT v1.10.2 (with associated patch file)
KDL v1.0.1 (now with Python 2.5 support)
BFL v0.7.0
OCL v1.10.1

See the instructions on the wiki page

http://www.orocos.org/wiki/rtt/installation/installing-macports-mac-os-x

I will be submitting these to MacPorts as official ports, though I hear that it can take quite some time to get a new port into the system ...

Please let me know if you have any issues.

Building OCL with RTT installed in non standard location

Hi

Trying to build OCL.

I buildt RTT succesfully and set
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/hugo/orocos/distro

I then do make install and it works.

When I go to build OCL then I run into problems that OCL is not found.

$ env | grep CMAKE
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/hugo/orocos/distro/lib
CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/hugo/orocos/distro/include

but when I do make .

I get:
