Re: Updates coming
Well dang! Looks like I have more work to do. Really odd as it was working last week. Well, let me see what I can do today :( Edit: Looks like mail is failing, with a "DATA not accepted by server" error, but I'm not sure what's causing it (like I said, it worked earlier...). One problem may be that ...

Re: Updates coming
DavidS-- Actually, down to the last few boards here, and the USB connectors are being SUPER flakey... actually, they vary based on the cable; I have one cable for which many of them drop out if you wiggle the connector, and another cable they all work well for. I have two more boards that seem fairl...

Updates coming
It's been some time for the Orbotron, and to my pleasure surprise it is still being of use to many. I have four more of the current run, but when they're gone, that's it for this version! What's coming is exciting but only moderately necessary, so if you're wanting to resurrect your orb, the old ver...

Re: New run of orbshields
OK, got a certificate from StartSSL, installed it, redirected the server to not use those scary raw IP addresses, and it seems to be doing https just fine once you get to viewing a cart and checking out. Also verified the "contact us" page seems to send a mail to me. Whew! May be back in business; I...

Re: New run of orbshields
Oh, and I should admit that one thing it DOESN'T do is Xbox360 controller emulation, which actually can be a frustration since a fair number of modern games don't allow generic HID controllers now that the "master console gamepad race" has mostly taken over. Most 6dof games DO look for generic HID d...

Re: New run of orbshields
:) Since I based the based the Orbotron on the Arduino Leonardo firmware (it's pretty much just that with a new HID report and descriptors, and is all open-source too) it's fully programmable by an (older) version of the Arduino environment. And that means you can do all sorts of stuff... including,...

Re: Orbotron 9000
Doosh: REALLY sorry for the delay in responding! The Jaycrowe site was up and down and the traffic is so slow I forget to check it. I am Thingotron Labs, as it were. I'm really sorry the "contact us" isn't working! As you may have noticed from a couple other posts, the store has recently moved (alth...

Re: New run of orbshields
Well, some answers there: 1. They are still available! 2. OrbSHIELD was the first run; it was a device which did an "okay" job but used a "bit-banging" hack to sort of manually simulate a proper USB connection. As a result it was pretty finicky and some USB ports just wouldn't work well. As a result...

Re: New run of orbshields
Yes it is! I have a few more of the latest run and am actually considering an update (to support more controllers, really; it wouldn't add much for orb users). The shop is still online at http://www.thingotron.com though I just moved it so I haven't tested the ordering yet. It still works (have just...

Sublevel 0 Works with Orbotron!
Just as another nod to "hey, someone else made a 6DOF game that works with the SpaceOrb", I just had a go with Sublevel 0 from Sigtrap games, and bless them if they didn't have controller mapping that worked out of the box. Well done Sigtrap! I haven't played the game much (just enough to die horrib...

Re: Late to the party...
Whodda, if you have to ask, get the SMD version :) It stands for "Surface Mount Device"--the sort of circuit boards you see everywhere. The other one is "PTH", or "Plated Through Hole" (which means the kind of components that have wires and go all the way through the board), and the reason it's $8 l...
