Digitizing Omni Phantom
Description
Here is a small digitizing application using the phantom omni. I am not sure how accurate it is but for a rough model the surely it can be used to digitize a physical surface into a point cloud ascii file. This point cloud can then be imported into a cad package (ie ProE . rename file .pts) to generate a CAD surface model.
Make sure you setup the correct paths for HL HD libraries and include directories in the project settings dialog. It requires the OpenHaptics library.
Usage
- Button 1 is the one closer to the last joint of the omni
- Button 2 is used to collect points in XYZ space in mm
- Button 1 is used to remove the last taken point from the list
- Touch the sphere and click button 1 to save to digitized points to file
- Mouse right click shows menu, quit and reset points are the only two options
