I’ve just got a SpaceNavigator and am using the plugin from here but am hving issues.
The firset time I use the SpaceMouse module it works, but if I open a new copy, or load the spacenavigtor camera patch or whatever, I get no signal from the module. It’s like the first instance of SpaceMouse doesn’t ‘let go’ of the driver.
instead of using the outdated plugin from the thread you linked to please just install the latest addonpack linked on the Downloads page (and remove the old wann before). then try again and report back. while that particular problem might not be fixed it is good to start talking about code from the latest release.
mm, common HID ok, but the vvvv-plugin seems to be based on a COM-object (as reading the console-output above suggests one is missing) that probably installed with the driver.
Bingo,
after installing the driver it works like a charm.
Thanks
Edit: And driver has to run, at Programm Menu Point - Start Driver you can start manually if disabled at startup. And in Taskbar it should be visible its small white cube.
Oh sorry, I use plugin by kalle. The new one from addon pack. But you have to install drivers as well. I just installed some for sketchup and photshop, not all of them. But its somehow installing a COM object as joreg mentioned.
Here it is. Egoshooter style Spacemouse. Move left,right and forward, backward and rotate to left and right. (no rotation upward or downward though).
Have fun with help file ;D
Hi. I’ve got a SpaceNavigator too. I always liked the idea of doing unusal things with it, but the drivers just interpret it as a sloppy HID device.
Thankfully some guy out there got just as frustrated with 3dConnexion/Logitech and wrote his own driver so you can make it act like a regular joystick, mouse, or keyboard which is just fantastic. I love the way he gets so excited about his great work, too.
I’ve attached the driver for good measure. It’s not maintained software, just like it’s not a very well maintained device (i’ve had some nasty e-mails with 3dx before which roughly boils down to “we’re too lazy to fix things”)
Oh sorry, I thought it was yours.
Im still confused in having an overview fo all plugins.
My Egoshooter module was about using all rotation axis of space navigator, which you cant get with HID node (but probably with new driver above?). But sadly, its a nasty math thing to integrate all axis. So, I stopped with one rotation for now. Hope to make others later.
