Hi,
I have a problem with a LEAP Motion controller not responding. And I dont think it is the controller, because it worked fine the other day - I think it is Processing somehow losing track of ports and devices, somewhat like when an Arduino suddenly appears on a different COM port number after unpugging and replugging.
I am running the examples sketch LM_1_Basics as-is, and it worked fine the other day. No reason to show any code. I am on a WIndows 10 machine.
Presently, the controller is not sending any data and is apparantly simply not being found, even though the LEAP Motion Control Panel shows it working and the Visual Diagnostics show my hand just fine. There is no error messages in the console, just a note on which LEAP Motoin library version I am using. I have tried a little debugging, but there is simply no connection to the sensor through Processing. I have restarted the sketch, Processing, the computer - no luck. The sensor works, and the code is unchanged, so it must be something to do with Processing’s access to the system.
How can I test, from a Processing sketch, which devices are connected to what ports on the PC? Or what else can I do to get things working again?
There are a few posts asking similar questions specifically about the LEAP (e.g. this : https://discourse.processing.org/t/leap-motion-library-problems/21401, but as I said, I don’t think that is where the issue originates.
update: I just plugged in another LEAP controller. It worked fine in Processing - once. I exited the script, unplugged the LEAP, tried the first which still didn’t connect, and then the new which now also didn’t connect . Fishy…
Best regards
Erik Lund
