Re: 3D rotation

I wrote a c++ library some time ago relying on various representations of 3D rotations between which you can change:

- euler angles
- axis-angle
- rotation matrix

You can find it here, just check out the file libShc\src\Shc_interface_conversions.cpp and take what you need from the 6 conversions.

Re: How time flies ...

Honestly, I guess not, I gave up coding as a hobby when it became my job. It's just too time consuming :D

How time flies ...

Hey everyone, it feels like ages since I used PB the last time (maybe around 2009?), but funnily I was told by a friend that a tool I wrote for some social service to automatically fill-in print documents is still used. Reflecting on my time using PB, I noticed that it was my first serious start int...

That looks really nice! Are the shadows only black/invisible or are that softshadows?

Re: UnionBytes Engine

runs smooth on my machine (AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series, 8gb ram, i5) and looks really good. Only thing I noticed was that the vending machines have been flickering.

Oops, you already wrote that in your initial post. Sorry. :oops:

Maybe something like this or this?
Yes yes! promising! I will have a closer look at this, thank you very much.

(There are lots of other external accumulators.)
The idea was to avoid an additional external accumulator (this is how it is done at the moment).

Oh my! I hope none of you had (or will have) to name a child :P

I think SpiderBasic is okay, PureBasicWeb is my favorite.

Re: USB as electric power supply

I think your external device has to communicate with the USB host controller. Some additional information is here (in German). For details see http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/ :-) That sounds like a non-trivial task. I would need to build some kind of controller :? Is there maybe an USB device w...

Re: USB as electric power supply

For short term this would work fine. Just remember, that stepup circuits are often only 80-90% efficient--but what is even more important is the quiescent current (the power draw with no load). The efficiency loss for a stepup circle is very interesting, thanks for that hint. The device is a camera...

USB as electric power supply

Hi folks, I have an external device which needs 12V at 4.1W (~350mA). Instead of using a battery I think about using the USB3 as power supply. This delivers 900mA on USB3 with around 5V which results in 4.5W. Therefore I would put in the USB cable and use a transformer to get the needed voltage. How...

anti virus software? Avira problem?
You are right, disabling Avira Antivir solves the problem. However only on this source code? I never had an issue with it before.
And I would expect an false positive with the compiled code, not within the linking process!?

POLINK error on structured list

Code: Select all

Structure myStruct
  
  List mylist.i()
  
EndStructure

Define test.myStruct

AddElement(test\mylist())
test\mylist() = 3

AddElement(test\mylist())
test\mylist() = 5

Define *testPointer.myStruct = @test
Hey guys,
this results on my PB 5.20 LTS in a POLINK error. Could anyone test it?

Re: Pointerlist vs SortStructuredList

This is really weird, I will install an old version of PB again and try it out. Pighead and so!
Your explanation makes totally sense, however why did it actually work in my old code? Seems like a bug which has never fallen back on me. Dont know if I should feel happy or sad :shock:
