What exactly do you have in your car? (I feel so behind the times, just to use my car to drive places <G>) If it has USB connectors, there should be some reason for them to be there, they aren't free. That doesn't mean that they have exposed them in a general way. They may be supported only for a sp...

You might have the best luck trying to use one of the Microsoft APIs (HID, DirectInput, Raw Input) on Win CE.

Hi dieram, From a programming perspective, you can use several APIs from Microsoft: DirectInput, RawInput or HID. We provide examples on our ftp site. You can also use a proprietary API from us. You can download the SDK, with documentation and examples from the archive area on our web site: www.3dco...

Make sure your SpacePilot Shift key is really assigned to Shift in the 3DxWare driver. It may be assigned to 3DxHelp or something like that. Still, that wouldn't trigger anything from the actual keyboard shift key. We don't touch the actual keyboard shift key.

That's a lot of questions in there. I don't have all the answers. I haven't dug into a completely generic parser (no need to--I know exactly what I'm dealing with--the firmware guys tell me! :D ). Yes, each combo of usage page and usage id is unique. But it isn't arbitrary. I'd say that the usage id...

Hi ProgramMax, You may be mixing APIs here. "RawInput" is usually used to refer to a Win32 API for getting data from devices such as ours. It works quite well. It is Windows only. You seem to be refering to HID. Yet another API. There is no standad that applies to the LEDs and the display,...

Whoops. My bad. Case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand had already done. This plugin was developed by us. I got a bit confused because this was released on 3DxLabs : http://www.3dconnexion.com/labs/ I'll forward this enhancement request to the responsible party. Thanks. Jim 3Dx Softwa...

The integration into trueSpace was done by Caligari. Contact them with questions. Your suggestion seems like a very valuable enhancement (if it isn't already there). That's why we put it in the puzzle demo.

Please post back here what they say, so other ts users will know.

You may be able to access the SpaceNavigator natively via the robot O/S. It is a standard USB device. If the robot controller has USB ports, you should contact the robot manufacturer to see if you can access those ports.

Good luck. ...And send us a video if you get it working.

Hi Jens, Button bits for the SpaceNavigator are the two least significant bits. All the buttons bits for all devices start from the right (least signficant end). E.g., char *rpt = buffer read from the device; button1 = rpt[1] & 0x01; // not 0x80 button2 = rpt[1] & 0x02; // not 0x40 The axis ...
