[IGSTK-Users] Ascension trakSTAR support?

[Tamas Ungi]

Hi Patrick,

Of course, I am happy to help. Thank you.
I have a brand new trakSTAR with one electronics unit and four sensors. I
cannot test multiple electronics units synched together (in case of more
than 4 sensors needed).

Let me know what is the next step. Maybe I can help in preparing software
too, or at least debugging.

Cheers,
Tamas

Hi Tamas,

Ascension 3D Guidance tracker series have an updated API based on USB
driver. The old serial command based code will no longer work.

I can update the OpenIGTLinkTrackerBroadcasting example with the new tracker
classes currently in the sandbox. Unfortunately, I don't have a trakSTAR
tracker. Will you be able to help testing it?
