Getting started information

[rob100]

Hi,
are there any getting started information for the leap motion plugin available? I have some troubles getting the plugin to work. Especially an example osvr_server_config.json would be nice.
In my case I built the plugin and copied the com_osvr_LeapMotion.dll in the osvr-plugins-0 folder from my osvr-server. Now I am stuck, because I don’t know how to modify my osvr_server_config.json file. I tried to add it to the plugins section:

{
    "plugins": [
        "com_osvr_LeapMotion"
    ]
}

But this ends with the following messages:

[OSVR Server] Failed to load the following plugins:
[OSVR Server]  - com_osvr_LeapMotion    Failed to load the module C:/Users/xyz/Downloads/OSVR-Core-Snapshot-v0.6-1115-g26bc354-build245-vs12-64bit/bin/osvr-plugins-0/com_osvr_LeapMotion

I would be really happy if you would add some basic instructions to the readme with an short description how to get the plugin working.

Try adding the dlls from the LeapSDK into the osvr-plugins-0 folder. Made it work for me in windows.

That doesn't seem to be working for me...I've scratched my head a lot trying to figure this out, but nothing seems to be working.

Excerpt from my server config:

"plugins": [
"com_osvr_LeapMotion"
],
"drivers": [{
"plugin": "com_osvr_LeapMotion",
"driver": "ControllerDevice"
},

The result:

[OSVR Server] Failed to load the following plugins:
[OSVR Server] - com_osvr_LeapMotion Failed to load the module C:/Program Files/OSVR/Runtime/bin/osvr-plugins-0/com_osvr_LeapMotion

Yes, you might check that the leap.dll is in the same directory as the OSVR_server.exe file. The plugin itself should reside in the OSVR-plugins-0 directory. Hope that helps.

Got it. I had the Leap DLLs, but I was missing the DLLs for OpenCV. Got them copied, and it is now working.
