There is a very simple C# example posted on the forum. There is also an older SDK if you are a Win32/MFC programmer (www.3dconnexion.com->support->driver downloads->spacetraveler->archive->3DxWare sdk).

What language do you use?

Hi Alex,

That is one of the problems we've identified with Raw Input. I don't know of a solution yet.

I'm out of the country this week so I can't check. I ran them from a PIC. They are ~1/4 that size. Definitely not high torque.

Very cool.

Wow. Those are some big servos--big brothers to everything I have used.

I think a PTZ camera to keep an eye on my car when I've parked it in NYC is a great idea :D

Feel free to start a new topic for this. My comment about a side business was to suggest that you could sell your interface. I'd also look into controlling a PanTiltZoom camera for a home security system. If you could control that over the net to see what was happening in and around your house while...

Hi Nick,

Take a look at what the driver is writing to the log file when you call LoadPreferences. The log file is saved in %appdata%/3dconnexion/3dxware.

Stay from the .scg file format. It is completely changing in the next major release. LoadPreferences chooses a config file. The string is a qualifier on the EXECUTABLES entry, not the ApplicationName. I have struggled through the ghastly mess of COM in a non-ATL environment If COM is difficult for y...

Revit doesn't have any hooks to allow movement of the scene. They have thought about it, and still are actively talking about it internally. The only way to get them to add some hooks that we can use is to have real Revit customers bug them about it. It is one of our most highly requested applicatio...

Now there's an interesting idea. What line levels are needed on the outputs (Voltage, current src/sink requirements)? Seems like a fairly simple project. One battery, one microcontroller that can read USB, with enough pinouts to generate what you want. It would seem simple to build a PC-based protot...

Yes, of course. Markus' post is correct. It's a qualification on the executable entry.
