Small VirtuoseAPI and vpp.h example application

[Ryan Pavlik]

Upon request, I've uploaded a mini example application here: https://github.com/vancegroup/vpp-examples  It's what seems to me to be the smallest fully-functional haptics application for the Virtuose, using the vpp.h header: it creates a spring that attempts to return the end effector to the position it had when the application was initially started. It is intentionally simplified.

Note that as of this post, I haven't actually tested this with a real device, just the simulator, but it's based on code I've run on the real device.

Contributions (fork/pull request) with any fixes, and additional similar examples, welcome!

Thanks for the example code, Ryan. I did not try to build or run the project itself, but simply looking at the code file itself was very helpful to get started with the Virtuose API or the C++ wrapper.

Soon I will add a few more examples to our archives that might be helpful to the beginners, ones with progressive complexity such as adding graphics and dynamic simulation to the application.
