On-demand packet reception - Python SDK

Post by santi66 »

Hello,

I am using the cameras to obtain the position of two markers placed on a Go2. Using the Python SDK on Ubuntu to receive the data, I am constantly getting frames from Motive.

Is there any way to receive the information only when I request it, instead of all the time?

I do not know the details of the Python SDK. I use an old "NatNetClient.py" program that I have edited as needed. It was originally supplied by Natural Point. Is that what you are using?

If you are setting a callback function to receive the data, try setting that callback function to None. You could set the callback function, get a number of frames, and then set the callback to None.

I hope that makes sense.
