HID and 3Dconnexion

Post by jcurru »

Hello!

I'm trying to control a SpacePilot by HID instead of using native 3Dconnexion software.
I've reached a point where I'm able to get the bytes coming from the device.
However, I find it very difficult to interpret, and I wonder if there is any documentation on it or if you can give me some information.
As an example, then I put the string that I get, and I'm not able to interpret.
Thank you

I've got an EXE that jwick gave me a couple years ago when I was trying to debug problems with my SPP (they ultimately never got it sorted so my cap doesn't work, but at least back then they were sort of trying). Shows which device thread the data's being sent over and the bytes. Could be some help. If you run the 3DX software and turn on logging, that could go a long way, too. If you want the app, let me know and I can email it.
