PRC on mac export to .src?

[canadasushi]

Hello everyone,

I got the PRC working on my mac on a community version, thanks you Johannes. However I cannot find the component to export the path to .src and .dat file. Is this not yet available in mac? If so, does the windows version have it? Would I need a full license for that? It would be great if I there is a rough documentation of kukaPRC with list of components for questions like this.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Chris,

In the PRC settings, you just need to tick the Save File box. The default directory is your Desktop, but you can change it in the settings as well.

Please let me know if that works! As PRC is in very active development, it might also be a bug or one of the many safety measures of macOS, if it's blocking the file generation. If there are issues, I'll try to resolve them ASAP.

Best,
Johannes

Hello Johannes,

Thank you! The save file box worked well. And the core, simulation and server works very well.

Two things to note was that when I left the simulation on the loop, the server quickly ran out of memory and crashed. Looks like an issue with garbage collection.

The other issue for my application specifically, the automatically added headers were not compatible with the KSS version that I had and it was not possible to edit those (you can only add by custom header).

LG

Hi Chris,

Hmm.. That's weird, thanks a lot for letting me know! I'll look into these things ASAP, however I need some more details to troubleshoot.

In my experience memory shouldn't be a problem, unless you have several millions of robot frames. And garbage collection usually prevents these things in managed languages, not causes them. GC may just introduce lag while it's working.

That being said, it's totally possible that there is a bug that is causing the issues. Do you have a specific file I could look at? And what is "quickly" in that context? Like within a few minutes?

There is a drop-down for selecting your KSS version as there are some slight compatibility changes between them. What KSS version are you running and what kind of error are you getting?

Best,
Johannes
