You want to map the +X axis into the +Z axis and the +Z axis into the -X axis etc. For translations and rotations. The Y axis is the up/down axis (perpendicular to the desk). That is the one you don't want to change. It's going to take some experimentation on your part to get it to whatever it is th...

Nope. Haven't heard a thing.

It is possible to reorient the axes. It is a bit of work. You can't do it through the GUI. You have to edit the .scg file for your app. This post describes the possibilities.

When you switch between the two different zoom modes, the config file switches between its HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL orientation. This currently does reorient both the translation and rotation vectors. This thread discusses the nomenclature for the axis mapping. Basically you want to change the AXIS_M...

Hi mrbean (something I never thought I'd say), Sure. I'd be glad to help. There are a lot of interesting posts in that thread. I liked the way one guy took the device apart and made a stiff foam base to dampen out the car movements. Bobble-headed I think he called it -- great name. Do you want to PM...

1) Try rebooting. 2) Make sure your scg file mods work with notepad where you can see it. 3) Some apps don't support Windows input in the "standard way". We have an alternate macro mechanism that you can try that works with some apps. See this post . 4) If neither works, you are out of luc...

Hello eclark3d, You are having troubles setting up a config for mudbox because it is not yet a supported application--the driver doesn't recognize it. It is possible to create configs for these apps. This post talks about doing this for notepad, but mudbox is the same exercise. Jim 3Dx Software Deve...

Not with the SDK that you have. The next version of the SDK supports it. It will be a little while before that comes out. It requires a new driver. Your best choice now is to use one of the MS SDKs. DirectInput, RawInput and the HID API all support multiple devices with various levels of effort. Raw...

Yes.

Valen,

You shouldn't be running apps as Admin on Vista. It's a necessity with some old programs that aren't Vista-ready, but you seem to be running up-to-date programs. Maybe you should look into the root of the problem.

Hello shalti, What software are you using to get this data? The device isn't a midi device, so you must be using some software that translates the data from HID to midi. There are 6 axes and separate button events that come from the device. It could be that your software is translating the 6 axes to...

That's correct. That would require a fairly large firmware change.

Does the command work via the keyboard button it is mapped to?
