I'm actually pretty well along with a driver for capturing and pushing the axis data from the device. It can even toggle the LED on or off. What Sama and I are working on would be darn small, specific to this application, and only require a single application installed. Plus, no coding, other than maybe some configuration of your FE.

What's the consensus, do we adopt this as "the solution", or pursue our own community grown solution?

The best is to have direct aproach using builtin HID on SN.
3DConnexion have stopped supporting Microstation (one of the best CAD in the market which i use).

so, my only challenge (which is not linked to carpc at the moment) is to make an interface between SN and Microstation.

Off the subject but, maybe worth later: microstation have built-in application support written in MDL (sources and compiler is C). and what i am working on is to write a MDL application to use SN directly in Microstation (Using HID).

at the moment, for CarPC even a very little plugin with a long route on using is worth....so, till one of us make something better then what we have, I think its best to use it.
