Server connected but GetLastFrameOfData() under c++ does not work

Post by aaarthur »

Hello,

I am having some trouble using GetLastFrameOfData() in Visual Studio 2017 to get any data from the server. I have two computers, one as server and the other as a client, and I am using NatNet 2.8 x64. I tried the SampleClient.cpp, and "theClient->SetDataCallback( DataHandler, theClient )" works fine and displays the data.

Code: Select all

[Client] Handling packet from 192.168.1.106: Command=7, nDataBytes=212
FrameID : 26576331
Timestamp :  110734.71
Latency :  110734.71
Timecode : 00:00:00:00.0
Other Markers [Count=0]
Rigid Bodies [Count=1]
Rigid Body [ID=1  Error=0.00  Valid=1]
        x       y       z       qx      qy      qz      qw
        0.28    1.08    -0.24   -0.05   0.87    -0.07   0.48
        Rigid body markers [Count=6]
                MarkerID:1      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:-0.67,0.41,-0.20
                MarkerID:2      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:-0.67,0.40,-0.26
                MarkerID:3      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:-0.74,0.43,-0.18
                MarkerID:4      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:-0.78,0.43,-0.24
                MarkerID:5      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:-0.74,0.41,-0.28
                MarkerID:6      MarkerSize:0.00 MarkerPos:0.00,0.00,0.00
Skeletons [Count=0]
Labeled Markers [Count=0]
However, when I disabled "theClient->SetDataCallback( DataHandler, theClient )" and tried to receive data by GetLastFrameOfData(). I have added the following codes after it has retrieved Data Descriptions:

Code: Select all

	sFrameOfMocapData* pData = theClient->GetLastFrameOfData();
	cout << "pData->nRigidBodies: " << pData->nRigidBodies << endl;
	cout << "pData->nMarkerSets: " << pData->nMarkerSets << endl;
But all I received were zeros. The result is displayed as follows:

Code: Select all

Connecting to server at 192.168.1.106...
Connecting to server at LocalMachine
NatNet Sample Client (NatNet ver. 2.8.0.0)
[SampleClient] Server application info:

NatNet Version: 2.8.0.0
Client IP:192.168.1.104
Server IP:192.168.1.106
Server Name: XXXX

Client initialized and ready.
[SampleClient] Sending Test Request

[SampleClient] Requesting Data Descriptions...[SampleClient] Received 3 Data Descriptions:
Data Description # 0 (type=1)
RigidBody Name : Rigid Body 1
RigidBody ID : 1
// More info here, omitted for brevity. 

Client is connected to server and listening for data...
pData->nRigidBodies: 0
pData->nMarkerSets: 0
Does anyone know why? Really appreciate the help!

Best,
Arthur

Hello Arthur,

Thank you for reaching out to the community regarding this question.

GetLastFrameOfData has been deprecated and is no longer supported under C++. Data should be polled from the data callback function instead.

If you encounter any issues with the callback, please feel free to reach out to us directly.

Best,
Steven

Hello Steven,

Thanks for the reply.

I am using the version of 2.8 where that function has not been deprecated yet. I am sure the OptiTrack server is in the same version and can send data for GetLastFrameOfData (since I tried in MATLAB and it works fine). But it just doesn't work in c++. I have no idea why.

Arthur

I have also faced the same problem on my Windows 7 system. It may be the Windows error. So, I firstly updated the system, but it was of no benefit. I have searched the Internet a lot and learned about Windows update error code 8007000e . I think it is the same problem that we are facing.
