Space Navigator PE Driver Development Thread

[sama]

I've no problem with using Xerces, I use it lots in my work on Java. I'm just not familiar with hooking it all up in c++ yet.

good idea about the gesture recognition. I imagine an option to have gestures constantly on, or enabled by some button would be good, and not too hard to implement.

I will be resuming work as soon as I have a place to stay. I'm now officially homeless till the end of March!

I think we could integrate with this or carry on as initially planned. I'm still inclined to create a custom CarPC driver as I think the application is a different one. And I'm also still inclided for a custom solution to make multiplatform possible (especially since my FE is also multiplatform). what do you think Cherry? et all?

I read the whole thread plus the other 3 threads(Price drop, inh taken apart, similar device from mp3car's store). I know that you guys trying to find a custom solution for our purpose. I don't think drop this integration to go with other solution is an idea. You guys almost there already. Basically everything is already figure out. If you drop now, time spent so far is a waste. I am not saying that the other solution on SN forum is not good but it's not for our purpose.
So keep up good work and let it kicking guys.

no way is this being dropped, I've been speaking to cherrybomb over IM and we're still sharing ideas etc.

sit tight, we'll have something soon

Wow Sama you are dedicated! I don;t knwo why you are homeless til March but to continue work on this is above and beyond.

If you want to come to the US I have an apartment I am leasing til the end of March but won't be there because I bought a townhome.

Seriously though, good work.

I'm homeless 'cos I sold my place and I don't get the new place I bought till March the 23rd. I had to do it that way or I would have lost the sale or the purchase! cheers for the offer tho

I'm working on a laptop, so I'm just waiting to find a room local to my work for this period, and then I'll resume on this. I can't take credit tho, so far it's cherrybomb that's done all the c++ groundwork.

Well, let see if I can contribute to any of those coding base on my really rusty C++.

[sama]

do you code in any other languages?

I second the motion on not letting this project die, I just got my SNPE via UPS this morning, I've been lost playing wigth it in SketchUp all day long! but I've gotten pretty comfortable finally with not having to switch to the orbit tool and take my left hand off the SN to move around... If any graphic's are in order for this project let me know...

Ohh no, this project is most certainly still on track.

A nice little 16x16 system tray icon would be a nice start, I'm sure there'll be other stuff.

You're welcome to check the project out of anonymous CVS from sourceforge and take a look. See my signature for a link.

The code that is up there is constantly in flux, since I'm sorta using it as a storage place, though the build is never broken.

Right now, it's just setup to capture the HID stuff, convert it into short int's for each of the axes, and right now, send some window messages to RR.

Consider it prototype stuff, but it's getting better all the time.

If you feel you'd like to help, go ahead and sign up for a SourceForge account, and I can set you up as a developer.
