I just added SpaceBall 2003/3003 support. To use it, put -M003 on the commandline. Untested (I don't have the device).

Plans for the future:
- Magellan / SpaceBall 5000

It's now in the official store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... lcidjhkpjo

Thanks! That's very kind. I should say that I have no guarantee it will work for a very long time. It interfaces with the internals of tinkercad, so when a new tinkercad version comes out, it may fail.

I now turned this into a Chrome extension. I am not sure I want to pay the $5 for the Chrome web store registration, so currently it's just on github: https://github.com/arpruss/spacemouse-tinkercad Download the zip file from the Clone or Download button. Unzip the zip file to a new folder. In Chrom...

My proof-of-concept Tinkercad support is currently pretty clunky to activate, and it only rotates the view and doesn't move parts. It probably only works with Chrome. Here's how to try it. Go to Tinkercad and edit something. In another tab, go to: https://gist.github.com/arpruss/21ecdf5ebdf01e2f9e0d...

In case anybody is interested, I am working on unofficial TinkerCad support by hooking into the TinkerCad js code.

Is there documentation somewhere of all of the SpaceMouse Pro's HID reports? Thanks!

I've made .exe files of my python code, which should greatly simplify installation for non-pythoners. Currently, I am having trouble with the 32-bit version, but the 64-bit version works fine. Here are new simpler installation instructions: 1. Download the latest signed USB/IP driver . (You get more...

Unfortunately I don't know much of anything about python or how it works. I installed pyserial and future, but I get an error upon execution of 3d.py:" from ctypes.wintypes import CHAR | ImportError: cannot import name CHAR My bad. For a while yesterday I had up a version that didn't work with...

Assuming it's based on USB HID, one could modify my method discussed here: https://www.3dconnexion.com/forum/viewt ... 25&t=37572
One would just have to modify 3d.py to get its data from USB HID rather than serial. It would probably be an hour or so of coding.

Maybe I misunderstood your suggestion. If so, sorry. Maybe all you want for a SpaceOrb is USB HID joystick support, rather than 3dxware support. That would be extremely easy (and 3dxware EULA would be irrelevant), if I had a SpaceOrb for testing. But I don't own one and the device isn't cheap ($50 o...

I've made a bunch of improvements. Now, you don't need to edit USBIP_VERSION in the script: it will auto-detect which version of usbip you're using. It now works with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.x. If anyone was put off by having to make a choice between BSOD on disconnect and use of an unsigned dr...

By the "gaming devices", you mean the SpaceOrb and things like that? This could run into problems with the 3dxware EULA, which says that 3dxware is specifically for use with 3dconnexion products. If I were to hear from 3dconnexion that they don't mind people using 3dxware with other produc...

Here's a photo of the setup:

I have found a way of using the SpaceBall 4000 with the latest 3dxware drivers, using only one piece of additional hardware, a serial to USB converter. I've tested this on Windows 10. It's not simple. It uses the USB/IP project to create an emulated SpacePilot Pro that receives its data from the Spa...
