Hello everyone,

I am trying to read the Geomatic touch device in V-REP. I am using windows 10 of 64 bits, CHAI3D 3.1.1 and V-REP 3.3.2.
So far, I installed the Geomatic Touch and Open Haptics drivers. Both drivers work properly, and then I can configure the connection with the haptics device, the pairing and so on. Then, I built CHAI3D in 64 bits by using VS2015. I checked that the communication works by trying the examples of CHAI3D, all examples work properly. Then, I built the V-REP module in 64 bits and put it in the V-REP folder (by changing the output directory in VS2015). When I start V-REP I can see in the console that the plugin is correctly loaded by

Plugin 'CHAI3D': loading... 
Plugin 'CHAI3D': load succeeded.

Initialization failed. (simExtCHAI3D_start @ <unknown plugin>)

Hello, I solved by myself

The solution is a kind of strange but it worked for me.
I read that CHAID 3D works well with the 32 bits version of V-REP, therefore I just compiled the library in Win32 and used it in the latest version of V-REP of 32 bits. However, the examples on the 32 bits version did not work on my PC. I needed to do some additional stuff in order to solve my problem.

NOTE: The solution includes the use of VS2013 and VS2015.

Here are the steps that I followed

1. Install the latest 32 bit version of V-REP (in my case 3.3.2)
2. Download the Visual studio version of CHAI 3D
3. Compile CHAI3D in Win32 by using VS2013
4. Compile the V-REP module in Win32 but in this case using VS2015
5. Copy all the files on /CHAI3D/modules/V-REP/bin/win-Win32 and paste them in your installation folder of V-REP
