Python3 dependency #14

Closed RPKrijnen closed 1 year ago

RPKrijnen commented 2 years ago

In some of the python scripts python 3 is used which is not normally supported by ROS melodic. When new users cleanly install a new ubuntu 18 distro with ros melodic and use our package a 'no module named rospkg' error could pop up. One script where this was already found is the finger_distance_node.py script.

Hi @Deakensbubbles, Do you have any plan to support python3 API? I would be happy to see the API directly supported by Python as well as C.

RPKrijnen commented 2 years ago

Previously we have developed a C++ API which we thought would be sufficient. Maybe if there is enough interest in a Python specific API that @MaxLammers or @robinkrens can pick this up? Your question is however, not specifically related to ROS. It pertains the API which this workspace utilizes.

robinkrens commented 2 years ago

@PARKBONG C++ API is available here: https://github.com/Adjuvo/SenseGlove-API with some more documentation added here: https://senseglove.gitlab.io/SenseGloveDocs/native/core-api-intro.html No plans for a python API yet. It is possible to write a simple hardware interfacing API, but you will have to implement the kinematics yourself.
