Space Navigator PE Driver Development Thread

I think that being able to control it via window message will work great for RoadRunner, and possibly others as well, but just in case, being able to either a) set it on or off on a per-context basis, or b) be able to define it as an action to be performed in a context, so a click of a button could turn it on or off. I like 'a' better, but mostly i would LOVE for there to be window message commands for it

Alright I committed, it's on its way. I am excited to join you guys on the SpaceNavigator project. Hopefully I can be of some assistance. I appreciate you help. Thanks

I've been following this from the start but I'd just like to review the process. Summary of the 17 pages perhaps.

Can you guys correct me if I'm wrong.

Requirements:
SourceForge download (Contents: SpaceNavigator.exe config.xml)
Xerces-c_2_7.dll

Can someone tell me where the config.xml needs to go and do I need to change something in RR or will it automatically recognize the movements.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to get a handle of what is needed, what needs to be set on the carputer and what needs to be configured in RR. Thanks guys for all the great work.

config.xml goes in the same folder as the program, and both come in the sourceforge download.

the xerces dll goes in that folder as well.

to get it to work with RR you will need to setup the config to send commands and such. check out the config.xml i posted up a few posts ago. It works with RR perfect =]

im going to start on a guide as soon as i get rrcam 2.0 released

thanks INH, your work , CherryBomb's and Sama's have been awesome!!!

INH: I did everything you said, I only have the volume up and down working with the buttons. I used the config that you posted earlier. Does it matter what skin is being used? I will have to sit down and read through the whole config file. I'm prolly just doing something simple wrong. Thanks.

Hey mine just arrived. I have read through this post but am unable to find the Xerces-c_2_7.dll file. Can someone help me out. Thanks

EDIT Found it deep in the archives. XML Time

I need to clean up the config.xml a bit, i think. Actually.. In my skin files, i have a lil code to send a message to the app to switch contexts. I use digitalfx 2.0 skin in roadrunner, so when im in the media player or most things, i want it to control the media player, but when im on the games screen, i want it to behave like a mouse =]

let me dig up the code..

inh,

Im using your config file too and have the same controls as guizai. I am not quite sure how to configure that file to my liking. I don't need it to behave as a mouse currently I mostly just want media control. I see where you have the controls in the file. Does positive and negative refer to opposite movements like forward and backward where forward could be up and backward could be down? If i changes the contexts do i need to change the actions as well? Sorry for my lack of knowledge in this area. I hope to learn though! THanks

No problem, give me a few mins, and ill post up a better config for you, as well as the way to have it do differnt things. I also try and explain things a lil better
