PyBullet: improve sleeping: if the base is static and all joints in the chain between this link and the base are fixed, then this link is static too (doesn't merge islands)
Fix PyBullet compilation of Visual Studion 2010
add grpcPlugin, it can work in GUI, SHARED_MEMORY_SERVER, DIRECT and other modes.
example script to start server from pybullet:
import pybullet as p
p.connect(p.GUI)
#if statically linked plugin
id = p.loadPlugin("grpcPlugin")
#dynamics loading the plugin
#id = p.loadPlugin("E:/develop/bullet3/bin/pybullet_grpcPlugin_vs2010_x64_debug.dll", postFix="_grpcPlugin")
#start the GRPC server at hostname, port
if (id>=0):
p.executePluginCommand(id, "localhost:1234")
Only in DIRECT mode, since there is no 'ping' you need to call to handle RCPs:
numRPC = 10
while (1):
p.executePluginCommand(id, intArgs=[numRPC])
Will add GRPC client and PyBullet GRPC server plugin.
Will cover most/all SharedMemoryCommand/SharedMemoryStatus messages.
Run the server, then test using the pybullet_client.py
update to OpenVR sdk 1.03 from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr
add camPosX/Y/Z and camRotZ to adjust relative camera/world transform for VR (so you can align virtual table with real table etc)
tweak quadruped.py to move a bit
add mouse picking to physics server
add UDP network connection for physics client <-> server.
also set spinning friction in rolling friction demo (otherwise objects may keep on spinning forever)
URDF/SDF: add a flag to force concave mesh collisiofor static objects. <collision concave="yes" name="pod_collision">
VR: support teleporting using buttong, allow multiple controllers to be used, fast wireframe rendering,
Turn off warnings about deprecated C routine in btScalar.h/b3Scalar.h
Add a dummy return to stop a warning
Expose defaultContactERP in shared memory api/pybullet.
First start to expose IK in shared memory api/pybullet (not working yet)
Expose inverse dynamics to Bullet shared memory API, through b3CalculateInverseDynamicsCommandInit and
b3GetStatusInverseDynamicsJointForces command/status. See PhysicsClientExeample or pybullet for usage.
Add option for Windows and Linux to set python_lib_dir and python_include_dir for premake and --enable_pybullet option
Expose inverse dynamics to pybullet: [force] = p.calculateInverseDynamics(objectIndex,[q],[qdot],[acc])
Thanks to Jeff Bingham for the suggestion.
Disable a few Visual Studio warnings:
C4244: conversion from 'type1' to 'type2', possible loss of data
C4267: conversion from 'size_t' to 'type', possible loss of data
Considering the GCC/Clang counterpart '-Wconversion'
(https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/NewWconversion) is not covered by '-Wall', it
seems to make more sense to disable these two warnings in Visual Studio,
rather than fixing these warnings with hundreds of static_cast<> in the
source code.
it works without OpenGL dependency now, so it runs in the cloud :-)
Add scaling support for TinyRenderer, remove some un-used normal mapping in TinyRenderer shader, expose light_dir_world,
remove accidental hard-coded path in tga write_tga_file,
Fix InverseDynamicsExampleCreateFunc, enum has to start at 0
(for now, start the example browser in 'physics server',
then compile using premake --python option,
then run python in the bin folder (so it finds pybullet.so)
and run the test.py script in examples/pybullet folder.
The robotics shared memory C API is very suitable for this.
