P5 Glove:Drivers etc

These are some other mostly internal Programs and Documents made officially and un-officially by Essential Reality and Nytric:

Dual Mode Drivers (Absolute Mode and Relative Mode), and new APIs. (by Carl Kenner). link (beta 3)

 * Using the official P5 driver source code, Carl has made a complete new version of the Drivers that allows you to use Relative Mode and Absolute Mode, among other things.
 * **This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DOWNLOAD**.
 * Features:
 * Compatible with existing relative or absolute mode P5 software
 * New APIs which can be called from Delphi, Visual Basic 6, Java, C, or Visual C++ 6.
 * Relative or Absolute mode
 * More accurate position and rotations
 * Filters: Averaging and Dead-band
 * Access to raw LED positions and other low-level data
 * Receptor tower can be moved and rotated
 * Prediction for when the glove is out of range
 * Initial glove orientation can be set
 * Velocities and Accelerations
 * LED errors can be measured
 * Absolute finger bend values
 * Gloves can be worn on the left hand
 * Sensitivity setting
 * Choice of units
 * Glove hot-spot can be set
 * Location of LEDs on the glove can be moved
 * INI files can be used to configure the driver for different applications
 * Left or Right handed coordinate space
 * Euler angles in different orders
 * Can tell when the glove is in range or not
 * Can retrieve previous frame data
 * Data is time stamped
 * Anything the original driver could do

===Official P5 Drivers ver2.0. link, alternate link===
 * The original Drivers were tweaked and re-released.

P5 driver source and sample apps source. (by Essential Reality and Nytric) link

 * The full source for the version 2 P5 driver
 * The source for some inhouse P5 sample applications that have not yet been released.
 * I recommend [DualModeDrivers|Carl Kenner's Dual Mode Drivers] over the official drivers

P5 Linux Absolute Mode and Drivers. (by Jason Mcmullan) jason's site, download link

 * These initial Linux drivers included a program much like 10LEDTEST that used absolute mode and tracked the individual LEDs. this is the source for it all.
 * The code is being improved as part of the community absolute mode project (see below), so the most recent code would be found in the SVN repository (see below).

===P5 Windows & Mac Absolute Mode and Drivers. (by Jason Mcmullan, Ross Bencina, Tim Kreger, and more) First version / Latest Compile + Source===
 * The linux absolute mode code was tweaked and recompiled for windows, this is the compiled exe.
 * This is very important, because it also includes the source code, this is the first P5 windows absolute mode source code.
 * There is a source code repository (subversion code versioning system) here svn://svn.evillabs.net/libp5glove/trunk/ that anyone can access to see the latest absolute mode source code (and maybe help out if so inclined). A windows subversion client (needed to access the repository in windows) can be found here.
 * **UPDATE: Ross Bencina is rebirthing the stagnated GPL library project at his SVN + trac repo repository which he uses for most of his open source projects, here. This should be considered the current cutting edge of the P5 GPL library project.**

 * Questions about this ongoing project are often asked and answered in the P5 Yahoo Group.
 * P5_Glove:Eric Lundquist seems to have done a similar project, in that he also has made a windows port of Jason's original linux absolute mode code.
