Just had to get one of these....hopefully it arrives early next week...damn you guys are spending all my money on this carpc thing :-)

btw, it shouldn't be a problem that i ordered the PE edition right ? its was almost half the price of the other version, and all it says is that there is no phone support for it ?

The PE Edition is fine, it's what we're all ordering. :-)

I just received mine, it is great just for Google Earth stuff....can't wait to get it integrated with RR

turbocad6 · 01-24-2007, 11:32 AM

does anyone know if the little tiny one is exactly the same compatability? it's like double the price, but it looks really easy to build into an install in a very sleek way...

inh · 01-24-2007, 05:58 PM

the normal spacenavigator is rediculously easy to integrate in to an install.. thre screws hold the base on, and only th base.. drop those, and you have 3 mounting screws to mount it in your car. bing bang boom done!

edit: take a look at the glovepie script thread in my sig if you want to get it working with RR right now

turbocad6 · 01-24-2007, 06:26 PM

I 'm not questioning weather I could install the bigger one or not, compare this:

"....bing bang boom done!"

to this:

"...build into an install in a very sleek way"

, I'm just curious if it's the same as far as any of these softwares are concerned

Couldn't know for sure without actually reading the HID output from one.

I presume you are referring to the SpaceTraveler?

It appears to be a 6 axis deal, just like the SpaceNavigator, and 8 buttons instead of 2. I would be surprised if they used some different scheme for the HID output considering the functionality is nearly the same. Plus their SDK, which I presume just decodes the HID stuff similarly to what we're doing, supports all of their devices.

So, without having one, and without knowing for sure, I'd wager that the 6 axis hat part of it will be compatible with the stuff we're working on.

The driver I've written is specific to the SpaceNavigator, as it only supports 2 buttons, and is keyed off of the USB Vendor, and Product ID of this device. It could probably be extended to include other similar devices with some input from folks that own the devices.

This would be awesome if you could click a button and use it as a mouse replacement (mouse pointer control).

turbocad6 · 01-24-2007, 07:54 PM

yeah, that's the one.... I didn't think about the usb vendor & product ID...

I just kept it simple & ordered the navigator, 2nd day so I may be playing with it this weekend
