steering through text file - sisso - 12-04-2011
Hey,
I am working on a project in which I am getting directional coordinates in a text file. The coordinates are of my head movement. Now I want to steer a vehicle through my head movement. Means if I bent my head left/right then the car moves left/right.
How could I do that with vdrift.
Please tell me where I have to make changes in the source code, so that the car gets its direction from the text file??
I am using opencv to track head center coordinates in visual studio 2010. My project is working in windows only (some problem with camera capture in ubuntu). Can I edit the source code of vdrift in ubuntu and after building with that source code can I use it in windows with my project??
Please tell me asap.......

Hi sisso.
I think the most simple way would be to modify CARCONTROLMAP_LOCAL:
rocessInput to use your file input.Or just CARCONTROLMAP_LOCAL:
rocessSteering if you are interested in steering only.Btw you can build vdrift with vs2010. Checkout vdrift-win into vdrift/vdrift-win and run "vdrift-win\premake4 vs2010" to generate the solution.

Hi NaN,
thanks for replying, I have downloaded project source from github.com but there is no project in it that could run and built in vs2010. There is a file named premake4.lua file in the main folder, is it the right file ? how could i make it built in vs2010 as a project(.lua is not supported format for vs2010 project). Also the folder vdrift contains only a subfolder named raw.

premake4.lua is a script to create project files.
You need to download vdrift-win(windows dependencies) https://github.com/VDrift and place/extract it in the vdrift directory. Then from vdrift directory run the command vdrift-win\premake4 vs2010 to create the project files for vs2010.
