Example Test Program
Hi, I was wondering if an example test program could be added soon, to better illustrate how to use this library?
Thank you in advance.

reporter Thanks a lot! Also, I was wondering how to make running catkin_make is supposed to work in the root directory (of the project)? When I try running catkin_make, it returns the error message: "the specified source space "/home/brian/trac_ik/src does not exist"". The src folder it is looking for is actually in trac_ik_lib.
I was able to manually run the CMake files using other methods, but was hoping that directly running catkin_make might work too.

Account Deactivated catkin_make assumes you have one or more packages in a src/ directory. So you would have PROJECT/src/trac_ik and then run catkin_make in PROJECT. Catkin puts all libraries and binaries in PROJECT/develop. I suggest reading the catkin documentation if you plan to use ROS.

reporter I see, thank you! sorry about not figuring that one out

Account Deactivated In adding this constructor, I had a global search/replace that broke the MoveIt! kinematics plugin compile. This is now fixed.

Account Deactivated - changed status to resolved
Version 1.4.0 now includes an examples package with a program that shows how to use TRAC-IK stand alone and how to compare it with KDL for a chain.

reporter Thanks a lot! I figured that the end_effector_pose's x, y, and z values obtained, given the JointList. I was wondering how to compute the rotation angle of the end_effector_pose, using this code?

Will get to this by next week. In the meantime if you pull the latest, there is a new constructor that allows y5ou to enter the base/tip link names (as strings) of the robot chain you want, and it sets up all the KDL stuff for you.
