partial communication with PSMoveSharp file about moveme HOT 7 CLOSED

Just tried it with visual studio c# 2008 and no change.

Hi,

First, You should know that PSMoveSharp is just sample code and should not be 
considered a full application. Some of the tabs require an undocumented input 
sequence to activate properly (read the source).

Second, can you try the following steps:

1) Launch Move.Me and press a button to hide the startup screen.
2) Calibrate the Move controller by pointing it at the camera and pressing the 
Move button. If this is successful the sphere will be lit and you should see 
yourself holding a sword. You should also see "GEM[0] - TRACKING" on the left 
of the screen. Let me know what it says in the square brackets underneath that 
line.
3) Launch PSMoveSharpTest and connect to Move.Me
4) Under 'Connected', you should see a check mark next to "1" and you should 
see the "Motion" tab update.

Alternatively, if you do not calibrate the controller before connecting the 
PSMoveSharpTest application, you must press the "Calibrate" button while 
pointing the Move at the camera and then press the "Track all" button activate 
tracking on the Move.

Do you need anymore assistance on this issue?

Thanks,
John

Hi 
I had the same issues and resolved them (at least the ones on Nav tab) by 
configuring (or disabling) the windows firewall.
apparently the UDP data had trouble getting back from the PS3.

Hi,

Thanks Baruch. Let me summarize the Move.Me network protocol here.

1) The client application connects over TCP. This is a connection going from 
your development machine to the PS3. You know whether or not this succeeded by 
the Move.Me GUI indicating that a connection has been made. Also, your client 
software should return an error if it couldn't connect.

2) The client negotiates with the PS3 a UDP port for the PS3 to send data back 
on. UDP is a connection-less protocol so the PS3 has no way of knowing whether 
or not the packets made it from the PS3 back to the development machine. 

If you've gotten (1) to work but you don't get any data back, chances are you 
have a firewall (router or operating system provided) that is blocking incoming 
UDP packets. Disable or add exceptions to the firewall. 

If you can't get (1) to work, first step is to try and telnet from your machine 
to the PS3 on port 7899. If you can't telnet to the port you have some other 
network problem. It could still be firewall based- some firewalls don't allow 
outgoing connections on certain ports. But, it could be that the PS3's network 
setup is incorrect. You can see what IP address the PS3 is waiting for in the 
upper left hand window.

HTH,
John

User error.

confirmed! must manually add to the default Windows firewall, otherwise data 
can't be streamed even though connection can be made. In my case I have the 
Symantec Endpoint protection (Win7 x64) but the default Windows firewall is 
still functioning and blocked UDP packets, took me a long time to figure this 
out...
