Disable spacemouse auto calibration

Post by wereonearth »

Hello,
I am using the spacemouse in Google Earth and am trying to replicate the motion of a drone flying over an area.
Sometimes this involves consistent pressure in a particular direction which triggers the auto calibration feature to stop the motion and reset to a particular point.
Is there a way to disable this?
Thank you

Hello, How is your day going?
If you want to disable the auto-calibration feature of your SpaceMouse in Google Earth, preventing it from stopping motion during continuous pressure, you can adjust the settings in the SpaceMouse driver. Look for an option related to automatic calibration or auto-center and turn it off. If this option isn't available, consider contacting the device manufacturer for specific guidance.
Thank you,
Mike Taku.

Is there someone like an admin who is directly associated with 3dconnexion who could verify the previous poster's solution,
provide more information, or offer an alternative solution?
Thank you

There is no setting for controlling auto calibration.
But I can send you a separate executable to run that will control it.
You will need to run it every time the device reboots.
PM me.

Hello, this is in response to the thread "Disable spacemouse auto calibration"
I am open to doing some extra steps each time the device reboots if it resolves the auto calibration,
but I am unfamiliar with the process of running executable.
How does this work?
Thank you

May I also have this? Auto calibration messes me up a lot. And is there any chance we can get this added to the official driver next to the Calibrate button?

It seems I may have the same issue, along with another guy..

https://forum.3dconnexion.com/viewtopic.php?t=57263

Why can we not turn off this autocalibration setting?..
And why does it constantly autocalibrates?!

You can turn off the SpaceMouse auto-calibrate with this executable.
HIDSetAutoCalibrate_Exe.7z

Download it, unzip it, and run it once for instructions.

You need to add some arguments.

E.g., this turns off auto-calibrate for a SpaceMouse Enterprise:

HIDSetAutoCalibrate.exe c633 0 0 0 0

You need to use the ProductID of your device. You can find the ProductID in
C:\Program Files\3Dconnexion\3DxWare\3DxWinCore\Cfg\Base.xml:
E.g.,
<Device>
<ID>ID_ProductID_C633</ID>
<Name>SpaceMouse Enterprise</Name>
<VendorID>256f</VendorID>
<ProductID>c633</ProductID>

for a SpaceMouse Enterprise.

This only temporarily changes the setting. It gets reset when the device reboots. You probably want to run it every time your machine reboots.
