Problem referencing Pinocchio

[mklvcm]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to follow your installation instructions and I'm getting the following error:

Any ideas what can be wrong?

Thanks,
Misha.

Probably that method was deprecated and now it has been removed from pinocchio. Maybe you can try replacing it with:

q = se3.getNeutralConfiguration(robot.model(), srdf, False)

or

se3.loadReferenceConfigurations(robot.model(), srdf, False)
q = robot.model().referenceConfigurations["name_of_the_configuration"]

where you should replace name_of_the_configuration with the actual name of the configuration you want to use (which should be written in the srdf file).

Thank you Andrea.

Yes, the method seems deprecated. The method you suggested does not seem to be there neither.

I also tried to build pinocchio v2.10 from March last year. That version has the function. But when I run it it crashes with core dump :(

I'd like to give this library a try but I'm kind of stuck. Do you know of any versions that are proved working? Do you by any chance have a VM with all stuff installed? Or something?..

Thanks,
Misha.

Hi Misha,

I' ve just pushed in the devel branch a fix to your problem. I've also converted all python files to python 3 (pinocchio has already switched, so it was about time TSID did it too). For playing with the library I suggest you to use the scripts in the folder exercises (rather than the ones in tests).

That is massively appreciated! I'll tell all my friends that Andrea is the man! Let me give it a try now .. :)
