Hello again,

I am trying to get the Aurora Tracker working. To be more precise I try to
launch the OpenIGTLinkTrackerBroadcasting Example included as part of the
igstk4.2, getting the following output:

-----------------------------
terminate called after throwing an instance of
'igstk::TrackerConfigurationXMLFileReaderBase::UnexpectedTrackerTypeException'
  what():  std::exception
Aborted
-----------------------------

The CMake options relevants to Aurora that I have used are the following:

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_0
/dev/ttyUSB0

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_1
/dev/ttyS1

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_2
/dev/ttyS2

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_3
/dev/ttyS3

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_4
/dev/ttyS4

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_5
/dev/ttyS5

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_6
/dev/ttyS6

 IGSTK_SERIAL_PORT_7
/dev/ttyS7

 IGSTK_TEST_AURORA_ATTACHED
ON

 IGSTK_TEST_AURORA_PORT_NUMBER    0

In the tracker I have set up tools in ports 1 and 2 (the two first). The
content of the configuration file for the OpenIGTLinkTrackerBroadcasting
Example is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tracking_system type = "aurora">
    <refresh_rate> 20 </refresh_rate>
    <serial_communication>
      <com_port>0</com_port>
      <baud_rate>115200</baud_rate>
      <data_bits>8</data_bits>
      <parity>N</parity>
      <stop_bits>1</stop_bits>
      <hand_shake>0</hand_shake>
    </serial_communication>
</tracking_system>

Any Idea?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Rafael Palomar
