Included with RoboticsLab v1.12 are most of the necessary files to run the Allegro Hand. The RoboticsLab SDK includes all of the model files and device files but does not include the MS Visual Studio solution and source code. That source, along with some setup instructions, are included below.

Download Project

File:AllegroHand dist.zip

To avoid changing numerous paths in the project and source code, it is best to unzip the project into the following directory:

[RoboticsLab Install Directory]\examples\casestudy\RealtimeRobotics\AllegroHand_dist\

If the path does not exist, please create the necessary folders.


Other files=

Within the AllegroHand_dist directory, you will find a folder titles "other_files". Within this folder are two XDL files used to link to the controller DLL and set properties (like left or right) for the hand controller. Move both of these files to the following directory:

[RoboticsLab Install Directory]\bin\controls\

Both of these files are identical except for the property, "whichHand", which specifies if the hand is a left or right hand.


MSVS Solution

The MSVS solution is located in the folder "msvc9" in the "AllegroHand_dist" directory.

Important: For MSVS to have the ability to launch rPlayer and rPlot and rLicenseManager, you must run MSVS with Administrator privileges.
