Re: Simple(r) example application?

Ladies, gents, I didn't experience a change of mind. Rather, I'm aware that 3dconnexion has a bigger reach in terms of SEO than my own blog. And I understand, that folks in search of a solution may eventually find this thread before they find my blog post(s) with full source code (70 SLOC for the ba...

Re: Simple(r) example application?

We cannot recommend the Gamepad API, although we wish we could. ... I only stated that the Gamepad API can be used to retrieve the device raw device data but, again, that's not what we recommend. You appear to have a short memory, because that's exactly what you did, in your post (in this very thre...

Re: Simple(r) example application?

Well, that's quite a statement :shock: . You recommend a solution which you know already that it doesn't hold its (and your!) promise. I propose we forget about the previous exchange and start again from scratch. ... ... Without knowing the details of the navlib's implementation I bet, all it would ...

Re: Simple(r) example application?

That's really cool for you. Congrats. And thanks, btw, for dodging my question about an authoritative compatibility matrix from 3DConnexion for current 6DOF devices vs. the gamepad API you recommended. I have worked professionally in software quality assurance for years. Proving one (1) good case do...

Re: Simple(r) example application?

Thanks for your concise answer. Which I of course tried and found to be not working for my SpaceNavigator USB. I'm aware this is a "legacy" device, so I'd even be willing to shell out some money to buy a current, supported device. Assuming, what you claim is true. To be sure, before I buy:...

Re: Simple(r) example application?

I'm adding to this thread because I can very much relate to the bewilderment of the thread starter. It seems to me like 3DConnexion is trying to position its Space* devices mainly as programmable keyboards, while maximally obfuscating the raw and unprocessed sensor data Txyz, Rxyz. My experience wit...

I hacked together a proof of concept tool to read out the values, you can download the source at http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/files/spacenavi.c . I have not yet been able to light up the LED of the device and I am also unsure if maybe some configuration stuff is stored in the navigator. I'd ap...

Hi ocsav. Although, 3Dconnexion very much welcomes the development of interfaces by third-parties, the SpaceNavigator device is supported only on Windows. For UNIX, we have the SpaceExplorer which is fully supported on all operating systems. If you want to use you device on a UNIX operating system,...

Let me put the question out there -- which applications are you all using? Because you asked: I have written (and am using) a proprietary (not yet publicly available) application revolving around the 3D display of (and navigation through) digital terrain data, overlaid with the display of 3D GPS-tr...
