I had no Arduino micro so i just used a Uno instead, the Potentiometer readings works fine on the Arduino serial monitor, but the SteamVR web console says there is no suitable device, i did notice that the config file had a different com port so I had changed to the one my Arduino uses, but still steamvr said that no device was suitable. I have no idea if this is because of this error: "OpenService failed (1060)", or the fact that I'm using an Arduino Uno or that I'm just having one Potentiometer connected for testing. SteamVR does say that an unexpected SteamVR Error happened and that its a critical error.

So far as I can tell, the Gloves and this repo are not synced, when it comes to the version numbers.

I think it can help to avoid confusion, if you use 0.5 for prototype 5, 0.6 for prototype 6 and so on

dumb-dumb change to trigger behavior to alleviate some headaches in certain applications but especially overlays. This removes the analog trigger behavior, but what marginal benefits using your index finger as a trigger brings is outweighed by the issues of having the controller trigger constantly triggering unintentionally in most usage scenarios.

This should be seen as a temporary feature loss until there is some consensus and solution on how to better replicate the analog trigger that doesn't make the gloves annoying to use.

Problem SteamVR can't find gloves controller, two esp32 chips on two different serial ports. SteamVR log shows as Unable to load driver openglove. Primary driver shared library not found on filesystem (for this architecture): C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SteamVR\drivers\OpenGlove\bin\win32\driver_openglove.dll.

Environment

• Opengloves driver downloaded from Steam
• SteamVR, Steam, openXR runtime

I think there is no need to load a Win32 driver, while I've no idea how to deal with this.

steamvr_settings.zip

I try to build this driver and got the following error messages: [build] E:\Quellcode\opengloves-driver\src\DeviceDriver\KnuckleDriver.cpp:11:1: error: a storage class can only be specified for objects and functions [build] static const enum ComponentIndex : int { [build] ^~~~~~ [build] E:\Quellcode\opengloves-driver\src\DeviceDriver\LucidGloveDriver.cpp:15:1: error: a storage class can only be specified for objects and functions [build] static const enum ComponentIndex : int { [build] ^~~~~~ I build in Visual Studio Code with MinGw under Windows 10.

(I'll write a description of the bug here, but let me know if you want me to open an issue)

Issue

When we launch SteamVR and turn on the vive tracker, the hand appears for about 10 seconds before changing into a transparent-blue form, similar to what happens when you place a controller outside the boundaries. This problem could be reproduced by using version 0.5.2.

Specifically, this PR is likely to be causing the issue.

Changes

The issue was resolved by ensuring that the worldFromDriverTranslation and rotation values do not change from the beginning, rather than calculating the base position using these values and adding offsets.

Using 0.1.1 on a Win 10 and an Oculus Quest (not #2) changes controller icon in SteamVR home to what looks like a PS2 controller. buttons no longer work.

Allow some degree of thumb motion in index-emulated games, by setting (capacitive) touch on the A button when the thumb is pushed beyond a certain threshold.

I have problems building the current main v0.3 branch.

Integrate a force feedback interface between the driver and games.

Using OpenVR's IVRIOBuffer interface is probably the most suitable way to do this, but modding may also be necersarry.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/wiki/IVRIOBuffer

I found a bug that would prevent my gloves from working properly and cause Unity to spew errors:

The cause was that my configuration files didn't have encoding_alpha set properly, and thus it was defaulting to zero, causing division by zeros.

I'm making this issue as a reminder that steamvr configuration can be weird, and we might want to add checks to like... everything, so that we see errors in the SteamVR logs if we get something unexpected from the config file.

Probably due to it being deleted at some point in the history, the link to the LucidGlovesDriver.cpp file in Limitations.md doesn't go anywhere. It'd be groovy if we could find it and link to the latest commit that has that file.

I know that force feedback has been implemented, but it only prevents the fingers from curling more. Imagine you were holding a pen between two of your fingers; it would be useful to prevent those fingers from splaying even further.

The Valve Index controllers have a trackpad, which is used in games like HL:Alyx to select a weapon. It would be nice if such a feature was supported by opengloves, so that you don't have to setup a gesture to simulate it.

Currently, most of the wiki pages are from before the UI's were created, would be great to be able to add documentation with screenshots of the UI from the steam release.
