Re: driver
I'm getting confused now....pi3573 wrote:yea you bet it does Space Pilot works just fine :]
Q. Does this driver work with the Spacepilot in Vista 32bit?
Q. Using this Driver, does it affect "built in" support i.e. does it interfere with Solidworks 2008 or Max native 3Dx support (for example).
Q. Is it easy to install?
Q. Where can I get hold of it
Thanks for any help.
Regards, Jeff.

Vista Ultimate 32bit
Ok, I figured out that I just install the setup file. All goes well until I change the driver to the RBC9 one. On four occasions I have tried, the driver installs ok but has a note saying the device cannot start. On another occasion, I got a BSOD at the end of the driver change and the last time, the driver installed ok (so it said) but I didn't get the new joystick, keyboard etc listed in device mangler.
If I start the RBC9.exe to enable the SP, it replies that it cannot find a Space Pilot and if I open the layout page, none of the axes or buttons register, however, if I then start the original 3DxWare driver, the axes and buttons register i.e. I can see the values change on the layout page. I've read the docs and re-read them and I am following the correct method. Is there an ini file somewhere I need to alter or some other trick to get this running.
So close......

I've been trying off and on to get a SpacePilot to work since March, yet to date this (where you got stuck) is as far as I have ever gotten as well. I keep seeing people say that it works, but since the current files, those from RBC9, are those that I used back in march I do not think it is possible.Smiler wrote:Vista Ultimate 32bit

I keep hoping someone will post a step-by-step as to how they got this driver to work with a SpacePilot, but personally I do not think it will be easy to get to work, looking at the debug builds that I tested for RBC9, the device was not being seen correctly which made little sense, since it should have been.
My take is hope that 3dconnexion actually create an official driver like this or else get a SpaceNavigator which does work. Personally I have just about given up and am thinking of selling the very expensive paper weight I purchased back in March.
ERIC
Thanks for the reply Eric. Nice to know it's not a fault on my part that is preventing it from working. Hopefully 3Dx will see sense sometime soon and release a generic driver (or tell us why it's impossible).
Anyway, for now I have uninstalled the RBC driver and will wait and see what the future brings.

hey all thanks for being here,
this is a RBC9 crash course.First off lets thank Ced (RBC9) for the outstanding
job done on this rather difficult device.As we all know many ppl have gotten the
SN and ST to work and well enough to ask for more implemintations addons and more
agreed the folks at 3D need to explore the other potential of thier devices.
With all that said lets get started !
Plug the device it to your usb port ,try not to plug into EXports ,hubs,long usb exstension cables.
Let windows detect it and install it as a hid usb device.
Now download the RBC9 exe,http://rbc.duckinegg.com/ you will want RBC9-SpaceNav.rar
Istall the driver (you may need win rar or other)
if you get an error in vista you can F8 and disable digital driver sig enforcement (lots of ppl dont know this)
Now we need to change the inf files for the device in the windows folder(this portion is for the Explorer ppl)
you can do this a few different ways but the easyest i think is just change the pid which would look like this
%RBC9_PIL.DeviceDesc% =Install, USB\VID_046D&PID_C627 ; SpacePilot
that last part of the pid c627 refers to the space explorer, you pilot guys dont neeed to do anything here.
make that change c625 to c627. save to desktop, then copy back to the windows inf folder.
ok good now at this point we go to device manager and look under HID,here we look for our 3d device
(if your not sure which is which you will want the the one on the bottom USB Human Interface Device,right click,
properties,Details,under the property pull down tab you will see Hardware ids. here we are looking for that c62X whatever you got
after finding that close that prop screen and right click on that device to update driver. browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers ,select the device driver you want to install for this hardware
in this case its the new RBC9 driver.
for the explorer ppl then youll want to install addon app for your explorer to be bindable.
follow the rest of RBC9s instructions on binding and mapping if you have difficulty with any part of this just get with
me on msn messenger ill be glad to help (if i can) :]
