Hello

I am trying to do a project in haptics using a custom designed haptic device. I am planning to use raspberry pi as an interface/ platform for running Chai3D. I just want to know whether it is possible for running Chai3D on raspberry pi. If so, is there a successful venture of its trial?

If not, is it possible to use Arduino?

Thank you in advance.

Compiling CHAI3D is probably not a problem. All you would need to do is write a class that supports your haptic device. The template class/file to look at is the following: "src/CMyCustomDevice.cpp"

Let us know if you have anything (image/movie) to share!

Hello!

I just set up my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with raspbian OS to compile chai3d. I used the multiplatform 3.2.0 for this.
Upon running the following,

$ cd /path/to/chai3d
$ cmake .
$ make all

[  0%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/chai3d.dir/src/files/CFileModelOBJ.cpp.o

Linux raspberrypi 4.4.34-v7+ #930 SMP Wed Nov 23 15:20:41 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

g++ (Raspbian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2

I did some googling, and this seems to be a problem with configure/cmake step, because I'm compiling on an ARM CPU some flags need to be changed/added.

A similar error was found here:
github.com/Motion-Project/motion/issues/104

I will try the fix and post my result!

hi,I am ok to use make version of chai3d 3.2.0 and
1- modify the external/openal/include/alConfig.h file
2- use make CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.9 CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.9 ARCH=armv7

but when i do that I have the same error like cmake (with few other modifications change build options
-march=native by -mcpu=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 in cmakelist, and get all the packages needed and missing on my jessie distribution),

"escamotage incompatible"
usr/bin/ld did not found -ldrd !!!!

But the libdrd.a was in the external/DHD/lib, i presume its a 64bits/32bits library x86 and not a ARM library, How can I have this ARM 32bits library version

Does anyone have an idea for this issue? Is anybody try to build drd ARM 32 bits?

Thanks
