From: barchasd@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (David Barchas) Subject: TECH: glove problem Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 17:58:40 GMT Message-ID: Organization: Purdue University Computing Center okay, I realize my first post of my glove problem was about as incomplete as I could possibly make it. Here is my problem. I have a santron 486dx/50mhz system with 210 mb hd and 8 mb ram. I ahve the powerglove hooked up to the parrallel port with the +5v coming from one of the extra drive power supplies. My sensors are all level, nothing is in the way, the only thing is that the sensors are attached to the wall but that should only cause a little bit of jitter from echoes. When I turn on the system, the glove beeps and all. When I start rend386 all of the LED's turn on and start flashing very fast,(very very fast). The glove is sitting perfectly still, yet it the hand jumps all over the screen hysterically. The emmitters are clicking away at a steady pace, and the system does kind of recognize forward and backward motion. Does not recognize rotation, side to side or up and down. (of course I am not sure of this since the hand is jumping around on the screen so violently, but this is what it seems like). Anyway, the program is not recognizing any jestures except for fist, and I got it to recognize badfinger once, by accident(frustration set in). Also I couldn't get any of the test progs from pcvr to work, probably because I need to compile them on my system which I will do when I become less anoyed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
