HID Examples

Post by jwick »

Edit (moderator): the sample code is no longer available from the FTP service. Please contact 3Dconnexion API Support if you need further assistance.

This postcontains examples of how to access the 3Dx device using HID.

My application is such that I cannot use your standard SDK's and must develop a different interface technology. I have successfully created an interface module by adapting the code in your HID examples. I have added the ability to turn on and off the LED, set the axis enable state, and to to be able choose either event driven or polled data access.

The LED control function was achieved by extensive reading of many pages on the USB web site and in the Windows DDK documentation. The axes enable state function was achieved by good old fashion hacking and a lot of luck.

The functionality I have implemented so far is sufficient for my purpose but I am interested in possibly using some of the other six undefined and undocumented Report ID's. To that end, it would really be nice if you provided documentation for your devices so that we could know how to program them rather than using a guess by golly approach. In particular, the documentation of your vendor specific User Page ff00 capabilities for the SpaceNavigator would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

In HIDTest example, the application is in a loop that gets the coordinates of translation and rotation of Spacenavigator.

In my application, I tried to adapt the same code and strategy to read the coordinates of the device, however, as my application already makes use of a main loop that updates the scene at each FRAME (use a graphics library for this purpose), my idea was inserted the read of device coordinates each update of FRAME.

The code works in parts. While the application is executed, the thread that reads the coordinates of the device lock the main application (3D scene). Reading the documentation of Windows (more precisely the functions CreateFile and ReadFile), I think I need to change some parameters of the CreateFile function, to make the handling asynchronous (do not block the execution of the application), rather than synchronous, as is in the example. So, I added the parameter FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED in CreateFile function.

Code: Select all

Devices[nDevices].handle = CreateFile(Devices[nDevices].pDevInterfaceDetailData->DevicePath,
												GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,
												FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
												NULL,
												OPEN_EXISTING,
												FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED
												NULL);
In turn, using the handling asynchronous, must change the mode of operation of the function ReadFile, but I do not know for sure what to do for the reading of the coordinates of device will continue working.

Someone has some experience in the subject or any ideas to help me?

Thanks.

The Microsoft Doc is pretty good on this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx ).
Pass an OVERLAPPED structure to ReadFile. If you get an ERROR_IO_PENDING error, call GetOverlappedResult.

I understand. However, I tried to use:

Code: Select all

if (!ReadFile(pDev -> handle, pDev -> buf, pDev -> capabilities.InputReportByteLength, NULL, &overlapped)) {
           switch (dwError = GetLastError()) {
...
The function GetLastError returns the value "6"... What I do?

Thanks.

If you lookup that error, you will see that it is ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. This suggests that your handle is invalid.

Right. The error is that driver of SpaceNavigator was off. After connecting the driver, the current error is: "ERROR_IO_INCOMPLETE"

Code: Select all

if (FALSE == ReadFile(pDev -> handle, pDev -> buf, pDev -> capabilities.InputReportByteLength, NULL, &overlapped)) {
				switch (dwError = GetLastError()) {
					case ERROR_HANDLE_EOF: 
						cout << "Error: EOF!" << endl;
						break;
					case ERROR_IO_PENDING:
						BOOL bPending = TRUE;
						while(bPending) {
							cout << "ReadFile is pending..." <<endl> handle, &overlapped, &ntransferred, FALSE)) {
								switch (dwError = GetLastError()) {
									case ERROR_IO_PENDING:
										cout << "pending..." << endl;
										break;
									case ERROR_IO_INCOMPLETE:
										cout << "operation incomplete..." << endl;
										break;
									cout << "GetOverlappedResult failed (%d)" << dwError << endl;
								}
							}
							else {
								cout << "ReadFile operation completed" << endl;
		                        bPending = FALSE;
							}
						}
						break;
					cout << "ReadFile failed (%d)" << dwError << endl; 
				}
In the MSDN Documentation, if parameter "bWait [in]" of function GetOverlappedResult is FALSE: "If this parameter is FALSE and the operation is still pending, the function returns FALSE and the GetLastError function returns ERROR_IO_INCOMPLETE."

What I do? I need of an event object like the example "Testing for the End of File" of documentation? If so, as I could adjust in my code? In that part of code I would read the coordinates of device?

Thanks.

I'm missing where you actually called GetOverlappedResult, but if it says the read is still pending, then it is probably still pending. The device only sends data at 60Hz.

You should not need the 3DxWare driver running. If it is running your program and the driver will be fighting over the device.

Sorry, a line is hidden.

Code: Select all

case ERROR_IO_PENDING:
						BOOL bPending = TRUE;
						while(bPending) {
							if (!GetOverlappedResult(pDev -> handle, &overlapped, &ntransferred, FALSE)) {
								switch (dwError = GetLastError()) {
									case ERROR_IO_PENDING:
										cout << "ainda pendente..." << endl;
										break;
									case ERROR_IO_INCOMPLETE:
										cout << "operação não realizada..." << endl;
										break;
									cout << "GetOverlappedResult failed (%d)" << dwError << endl;
								}
							}
							else {
								cout << "ReadFile operation completed" << endl;
		                        bPending = FALSE;
							}
						}
						break;
Did you have any suggestion?

Thanks.

I cannot build py project, I work with visual studio 2008 and when I add the path the library (hid.lib) in this sample I have 26 error like :

"Erreur 1 error LNK2019: symbole externe non résolu _free référencé dans la fonction _main HIDTest.obj HIDTest"


May it possible I have forgotten a file to add or something else ?

I also cannot build the example. Using the latest DDK 8.0, when I add the include directories, I get a bunch of windows api related errors.
(see below). Anyone have suggestions on what to do?

We do use overlapped IO in our drivers. Being already in a separate thread, I wouldn't think it should matter--only that thread should get blocked. If your main thread is blocking on something that only the read thread sets when it returns from the read, then you do have a problem.

Your application is set up correctly. Your application should draw as fast as it can using the last available data from the device. When new data arrives from the device that should be shared with the main loop and the main drawing loop speed should be updated. If no new data has arrived from the device, keep doing what you were doing. This way you don't slow your application down to the data rate of the device.

When the user releases the device cap, you will get an all zero event which will tell you to stop.

Hi,

I have started hacking up one of the HID examples and got my code to output some results (refer lower in my post).

My questions is:
1) How do I turn the LED's on and off? when I write data what values should I use?

2) What does the vendor specific data mean? and when I read data what does a value of 0x61 mean in relation to the UsageID 0x17.
UsagePage: 65280 (Vender-defined 0xFF00)
UsageID 0x17
UsagePage: 65280 (Vender-defined 0xFF00)
UsageID 0x1b

3) Feature Value Capabilities are all vendor data, when I read/write data what do the data values mean and how should I interact with it?


Thanks in advance.
