Setting up Oculus rift servo controller dependencies
From Lofaro Lab Wiki
1. Install the older version of the Oculus SDK (0.2.5) from here
- run the ConfigurePermissionsAndPackages.sh script
- run the worlddemo file (./worlddemo) with the oculus rift headset's USB and HDMI connected to confirm it is working.
2. Install the Python ovrSDK from here
- Install python-setup tools via the command: sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
- Install python pip: sudo easy_install pip
- Install the python-ovrsdk by running: sudo pip install python-ovrsdk
- Run the test script provided in the downloaded Python ovrSDK from step #2 above
- If running into issues with running the test script further debugging must be performed:
- If issue with running libudev.so.1 try
cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sudo cp libudev.so.0.13.0 libudev.so.1
- If the x86_64 folder doesnt exist install it by sudo apt-get install libudev0:i386
