4469 is marked as Fixed for our next 3DxSoftware release.

There have been several people who have tried using 3Dx devices in their cars. Search this forum for mp3car.

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.

You can get at the 3DxWare control panel via the desktop icon or the Start menu ...3Dconnexion 3DxWare... You can arrange the axes any crazy way you wish using the driver before they get to Maya.

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 ...

There could be an issue with such early versions of NX, especially on x64. ISVs don't always get 3D mouse support in the first releases.

Other than that - the unit is phenomenal! I am dying to open it and see the sensors That's definitely going to void your warranty :) Hey - btw ... how do I start the driver programmatically? Can it be done. The COM interface disables the autostart of the driver. Don't bother starting it on your own...

Thanks to all for the general comments. But I'm looking for specific examples of exactly what applications you want to use these devices with--say for instance we wanted to buy applications to test. In fact, if you could list the name and version that would help. This thread is specifically for appl...
