# VRPN generic object configuration file to run a Mad City Labs controller

# NULL Tracker. This is a "device" that reports the Identity transformation for
# each of its sensors at the specified rate. It can be used to verify connections
# are working and for other tests of VRPN. There are three arguments:

# AnalogFly Tracker. This is a tracker that is intended to be used on top of
# a joystick or motion tracker of some kind to turn it into a moving or flying
# device. It could be used on top of any analog device, in fact.
# This device basically takes in analog signals and puts out transformation
# matrices. It should supercede the JoyFly tracker, since it is more general.
# There are two kinds of JoyFly's: absolute ones and differential ones. For
# absolute ones, the analog value is mapped directly to position or orientation
# on each axis. For differential ones, the values are used to create a
# "change" matrix that is applied once per interval, accumulating changes as
# it goes; this enables the user to "fly" along by holding a joystick forward,
# for example.
# One analog channel is associated with each axis (X, Y, Z) and rotation about
# each axis (RX, RY, RZ). For each axis, the value is converted to a position
# (meters) or speed (meters/second) for absolute trackers; or into an
# orientation (revolutions) or angular velocity (revolutions/second) by first
# subtracting an offset, then thresholding it to see if it is far enough from
# zero, then (if it is) scaling it and taking it to a power (to allow nonlinear
# speedup as the stick is pushed far from center).
# A button can be associated with a reset function, which will take the
# device back to center (identity transformation). The device will also recenter
# when the first connection is made to the server it is running on. (Centering
# has no effect on absolute AnalogFlys).
# Any axis or the reset button can be disabled by setting the name of its
# associated device to the string "NULL".
# Note that you could have multiple of these devices running simultaneously,
# each with a different name and interaction metaphor. The user could then
# connect to their favorite one. Arguments:
# char name_of_this_device[]
# float update_rate_to_send_tracker_reports

# Fastrak Tracker. Runs a Polhemus Fastrak tracker that is attached to a serial
# port on this machine. This driver will also run an InterSense IS600 or IS900
# tracker, but you will want to include extra initialization code (as described
# below) to set up the ultrasonic pip information, wand devices, stylus devices
# and so forth. Arguments that go on the first line:
# char name_of_this_device[]
# char name_of_serial_device[]
# int baud_rate_of_serial_device
#
# It is possible to add additional commands that will be sent to the tracker
# by putting the backslash character (\) at the end of the config line. This
# will cause the following line to be read in and sent to the Fastrak during
# the reset routine. You can add additional lines by putting a slash at the
# end of each command line but the last. Each line will be sent to the Fastrak
# with a newline at the end of it. If a line starts with an asterisk (*), then
# it is treated as a line telling how long to sleep, with the integer number of
# seconds following the *.
#
# If one or more sensors on the Fastrak have a stylus button on them, use
# the "FTStylus" command after the reset command lines (if any). There should
# be a front-slash "/" character at the end of the line before the FTStylus
# command. The command takes two arguments: the name of the button device
# that will report the buttons and the sensor number to which the button is
# attached (the first sensor is sensor 0).
#
# Commands to add Joysticks (2 buttons) or Wands (5 buttons and 2 analogs) to
# the various sensors on the Isense900 are done by adding Stylus and
# Wand command lines after the reset command lines. Each of these lines
# takes two arguments: the name of the button (for Stylus) or button and
# analog (for Wand) servers, and the sensor number (starting from 0). The
# Wand line takes eight additional parameters, which specify the scaling
# and clipping behavior of the two directions on the analog joystick. Each
# set of for is the min, lowzero, hizero, and max values: these are mapped
# to -1, 0,0, and 1 (all values between lowzero and hizero are mapped to 0).
# Start with these at -1,0,0,1 and use the 'printcereal' program or some other
# method to read them and see what the range of acheivable values is. Then,
# set them to slightly conservative values so that the whole range is covered
# and the analogs will report zero when the joystick is centered. The
# presence of these lines is indicated by placing them after any additional
# reset command lines, by ending the line preceding them with the front slash
# "/" character.
#

# takes two arguments: the name of the button (for Stylus) or button and
# analog (for Wand) servers, and the sensor number (starting from 0). The
# Wand line takes eight additional parameters, which specify the scaling
# and clipping behavior of the two directions on the analog joystick. Each
# set of for is the min, lowzero, hizero, and max values: these are mapped
# to -1, 0,0, and 1 (all values between lowzero and hizero are mapped to 0).
# Start with these at -1,0,0,1 and use the 'printcereal' program or some other
# method to read them and see what the range of acheivable values is. Then,
# set them to slightly conservative values so that the whole range is covered
# and the analogs will report zero when the joystick is centered. The

# AnalogFly Tracker. This is a tracker that is intended to be used on top of
# a joystick or motion tracker of some kind to turn it into a moving or flying
# device. It could be used on top of any analog device, in fact.
# This device basically takes in analog signals and puts out transformation
# matrices. It should supercede the JoyFly tracker, since it is more general.
# There are two kinds of JoyFly's: absolute ones and differential ones. For
# absolute ones, the analog value is mapped directly to position or orientation
# on each axis. For differential ones, the values are used to create a
# "change" matrix that is applied once per interval, accumulating changes as
# it goes; this enables the user to "fly" along by holding a joystick forward,
# for example.
# One analog channel is associated with each axis (X, Y, Z) and rotation about
# each axis (RX, RY, RZ). For each axis, the value is converted to a position
# (meters) or speed (meters/second) for absolute trackers; or into an
# orientation (revolutions) or angular velocity (revolutions/second) by first
# subtracting an offset, then thresholding it to see if it is far enough from
# zero, then (if it is) scaling it and taking it to a power (to allow nonlinear
# speedup as the stick is pushed far from center).
# A button can be associated with a reset function, which will take the
# device back to center (identity transformation). The device will also recenter
# when the first connection is made to the server it is running on. (Centering
# has no effect on absolute AnalogFlys).
# Any axis or the reset button can be disabled by setting the name of its
# associated device to the string "NULL".
# Note that you could have multiple of these devices running simultaneously,
# each with a different name and interaction metaphor. The user could then
# connect to their favorite one. Arguments:

# ButtonFly Tracker. This is a tracker that is intended to be used on top of
# a Global Haptics Orb or other buttond device to turn it into a moving or
# flying device. It basically takes in button signals and puts out
# transformation matrices.
# There are two kinds of Buttons: absolute ones and differential ones. For
# absolute ones, pressing it causes the position or orientation associated with
# it to be stored directly into the transformation. This enables the user to
# "teleport" to given locations by pressing buttons. For differential ones,
# the position or orientation are treated as deltas and are used to create a
# "change" matrix that is applied once per interval, accumulating changes as
# it goes; this enables the user to "fly" along by holding a button down,
# for example.
# Each button is associated with either a position (meters) or speed
# (meters/second) for absolute buttons; or an orientation (revolutions)
# or angular velocity (revolutions/second).
# An analog channel can be associated with a scale function that scales the
# velocity or angular velocity terms uniformly. The entry specifies an
# offset to be applied to the analog channel, a scale to be applied to it,
# and a power to which the result should be taken; the end result is used
# to scale all velocity or angular velocity terms. This channel has no
# effect on the effects of absolute buttons.
# The device will recenter (set itself to the identity transform) when the
# first connection is made to the server it is running on.
