[quote="rayz007"]would love to use the 4000 in 3dsmax[/quote] I *think* you can do this: http://www.3dbuzz.com/forum/threads/154442-Joystick-controlled-camera! http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/15/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-89367E0E-8D43-48A5-ABC1-BD1119B25F77.htm,topicNumber=d30e22417...

[quote="vputz"] [code] if ( crunch_magellan_nibbles() ) [/code] ...which is basically taken from the linux magellan.c driver in magellan_process_packet: [code] case 'k': /* Button data */ 103 if (magellan->idx != 4) return; 104 if (magellan_crunch_nibbles(data, 3)) return; [/code] [/quote] Sorry...b...

[quote="Tehrasha"][quote="kenyee"] While chords may be possible with the 5000, I dont know if it is exactly practical. :) Are you able to get all 10 buttons to work?[/quote][/quote] True...You'd have to have super big hands to get it to work one-handed :lol: You could shift w/ the other hand though....

[quote="vputz"] First, try replacing orbotron_translator.h in the libraries/orbotron directory with the one from the git repository (I'd attach it here, but I can't seem to attach any source files). ... Second, try changing the sensitivity curve and see what you think... change the #include in Basic...

[quote="vputz"]It could be I've forgotten something about calibration for a 5k and they report a different range or something[/quote] That's why I was hoping to try the Linux drivers to find out what whether it's your code that reads values or whether it really is broken. But I was referring to the ...

[quote="vputz"]If you got one of the "production" boards with four holes in a row behind the USB connector, those four holes should be (top to bottom, looking with the USB connector on the left): +5V, D-, D+, GND .... So one thing you could try is manually send it the init string.[/quote] Luckily, i...

[quote="vputz"]Pursuant to the earlier conversation, this didn't happen to be a 5000FLX-A (rebranded 4000)? If not, no idea. That behaviour is consistent with either not receiving enough voltage (but the board works with your Spaceorbs, so I don't think that's it) or the device not receiving the ini...

Well...curiosity got the better of me and I picked up a SpaceBall 5000 off fleabay. Unfortunately, the idiot seller (new_life_electronics2) decided it was good idea to ship it in one of those yellow bubble mailers w/o anything around it...it arrived w/ holes in the yellow part of the mailer and the ...

[quote="vputz"] smtstencil.co.uk, who are right here in London and can send me a whole sheet of stencils for a little over $20 in two days[/quote] Wow. That's cheap :shock: If you want your brain to hurt for a while, read this: http://www.qualiecocircuits.co.nz/stencil-technology-other-aspects.htm I...

[quote="vputz"] I'm also wondering if my pad cutouts on my stencils are a little too big and I'm just putting down too much paste. Most of the bridges on the QFP44, when they happen, aren't at the level of the PCB--they're up a little higher. [/quote] I agree...sounds like too much paste which might...

[quote="vputz"]Molex one (http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=1568023). It will still be a bit hellish to solder, BUT the little legs fit into holes in the PCB, so alignment is no longer a problem[/quote] Wow...still looks hellish to solder :-P Didn't realize you had alignment pro...

[quote="VDX"] This driver-fuzz seems to be related to the different USB-handling of older (1280) vs. newer (2560) Arduino Megas - here one of the drivers or switching betweend them seems to have changed the USB installation behaviour :?: [/quote] Have you tried uninstalling all traces of the Arduino...

[quote="Tehrasha"] Yes, this agrees with my findings as well. For obvious reasons, I have never disassembled any of [url=http://spacemice.wikidot.com/collection]my spacemice[/url] to check, though. :)[/quote] You're a collector :) Do you find the 5000 more accurate/responsive than the 4000? That's t...
