Hi Christos,
Hope you don't mind, but I am including the mailing list in case this is
useful for others.

Great, glad it was easy to do.

Do you feel force feedback in the InputVTC example? As you can see, in
that example there is an OutputComponent that connects the
VirtualToolCoupler to the device for rendering forces. At the moment,
there is no OutputComponent in the Stapling Example, mostly because you
are the first one to use a force feedback device in this example. It
should be pretty straight forward to add an OutputComponent, just follow
the code in the InputVTC example.

No problem. Good luck, and let us know if you have any other questions
or suggestions.
