  1. git clone from https://github.com/clearpathrobotics/vrpn_client_ros
  2. export vrpn_root = path to where it cloned
  3. sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-vrpn-client-ros
  4. run catkin_make
  5. roslaunch vrpn_client_ros sample.launch server:=233.255.42.99

Do you have the same ip in roslaunch vrpn_client_ros sample.launch and motive optitrack?

24

Yes I use the same IP which is 233.255.42.99 for both the launch file [quote=“kjkidusj, post:21, topic:2956”]

@Mario1577 Can you guide me through the steps you followed?

I do not use virtual machine, I am using two Pc, maybe this guide can help you https://github.com/EmaroLab/docs/wiki/Motion-Capture-Instructions-(Optitrack-Motive)

In the guide use virtual machine.

I am using a windows pc and ubuntu pc

The windows pc i have motive software and ubuntu pc I have ROS,

I connect both computers via LAN with router.

In ubuntu pc I installed vrpn_client_ros.

finally, I run roslaunch vrpn_client_ros sample.launch server:=ip

the ip that i am running in sample.launch is the same that has motive and windows pc.

28

Could you send optitrack data to ros? @kjkidusj

29

So is this IP address is multicast default address (239.255.42.99) or is it the ip address of the PC? My PC is connected to internet through cable.

30

No I couldn’t I am still trying to figure out it!!!

31

Is there anyone who is using Virtual Machine to run ROS and able to stream data from Optitrack successfully? I would appreciate your help on this one please.
