[edit] Drivers

[edit] Dual Mode Drivers (Absolute Mode and Relative Mode), and new APIs. (by Carl Kenner). Download A__DualModeDriverBeta31rd.zip from the yahoogroup or Use the P5DLL.DLL file from GlovePIE

  • Using the official P5 driver source code, Carl has made a complete new version of the Drivers that allows you to use Relative Mode and Absolute Mode, among other things.
  • **This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DOWNLOAD**.
  • Features:
    • Compatible with existing relative or absolute mode P5 software
    • New APIs which can be called from Delphi, Visual Basic 6, Java, C, or Visual C++ 6.
    • Relative or Absolute mode
    • More accurate position and rotations
    • Filters: Averaging and Dead-band
    • Access to raw LED positions and other low-level data
    • Receptor tower can be moved and rotated
    • Prediction for when the glove is out of range
    • Initial glove orientation can be set
    • Velocities and Accelerations
    • LED errors can be measured
    • Absolute finger bend values
    • Gloves can be worn on the left hand
    • Sensitivity setting
    • Choice of units
    • Glove hot-spot can be set
    • Location of LEDs on the glove can be moved
    • INI files can be used to configure the driver for different applications
    • Left or Right handed coordinate space
    • Euler angles in different orders
    • Can tell when the glove is in range or not
    • Can retrieve previous frame data
    • Data is time stamped
    • Anything the original driver could do

[edit] Official P5 Drivers ver2.0. archived link,

  • The original Drivers were tweaked and re-released.

[edit] P5 driver source and sample apps source. (by Essential Reality and Nytric) link

    • The full source for the version 2 P5 driver
    • The source for some inhouse P5 sample applications that have not yet been released.
  • I recommend [DualModeDrivers|Carl Kenner's Dual Mode Drivers] over the official drivers

[edit] P5 Linux Absolute Mode and Drivers. (by Jason Mcmullan) jason's site, download link

  • These initial Linux drivers included a program much like 10LEDTEST that used absolute mode and tracked the individual LEDs. this is the source for it all.
  • The code is being improved as part of the community absolute mode project (see below), so the most recent code would be found in the SVN repository (see below).

[edit] P5 Windows & Mac Absolute Mode and Drivers. (by Jason Mcmullan, Ross Bencina, Tim Kreger, and more) [1] First version / Latest Compile + Source

  • The linux absolute mode code was tweaked and recompiled for windows, this is the compiled exe.
  • This is very important, because it also includes the source code, this is the first P5 windows absolute mode source code.
  • There is a source code repository (subversion code versioning system) here svn://svn.evillabs.net/libp5glove/trunk/ that anyone can access to see the latest absolute mode source code (and maybe help out if so inclined). A windows subversion client (needed to access the repository in windows) can be found here.
  • Questions about this ongoing project are often asked and answered in the P5 Yahoo Group.
  • P5_Glove:Eric Lundquist seems to have done a similar project, in that he also has made a windows port of Jason's original linux absolute mode code.
