Re: The ultimate orb solution, at last.
Great news that it works! Sorry for the vagueness on replies... I'm on a tiny netbook in a hotel for the next month so without my computer it's not so easy browsing the source tree even using Sourceforge.
From what I can see, though, there is only one sensitivity curve for the whole system, not one per axis (unlike gain). The reason is that gain is just a short per axis (12 bytes) but the sensitivity curve is just a simple lookup table, and that takes up a fair amount of memory on the little Arduino (2k bytes!) However, nowadays, the 328 Arduinos (all the new ones) could probably handle it, so I should think about adding per-axis sensitivity lookups.
Sorry not more help yet. Maybe later!

I don't even know where to start debugging. Any hints?

Re: The ultimate orb solution, at last.
Sorry for slow response (and I won't have GOOD responses for a while, at the rate we're going finding a house).
Okay. The 5k and the Magellan Spacemouse should work... at least somewhat. The obvious first check-- did you change the initialization to
[code]Logical_orb orb_buffer( SpaceBall5000 );[/code]
before testing? (not to be annoying, but I wanted to check; it's the sort of thing I forget).
Second--do the buttons work and the axes work but not far enough? If so, it may be possible to get a good effect from changing gain.
Grr, this sucks not being able to really help. I want my stuff back!

Yes, I set the init string. My results were the SAME as Agent_13's, competely.

Re: The ultimate orb solution, at last.
I've just been catching up on the status of drivers for the SpaceOrb and was so happy to see these latest developments
Unfortunately Seeed is currently showing 0 stock for the Orbshield v1.0 kit - any idea if they plan to do another run?
I'm not sure which Arduino controller board to buy. These two are available, but which one is best?
Also, is there a suitably sized plastic enclosure we can use?
Thanks,
Adam
