When i get a chance, I think I'm going to crack mine open again and see about changing LED colors, just for kicks. Hell.. maybe puts some RGB LEDs in there.. Now THAT would be awesome..

Hah! You own/drive a CRX?

Before my explorer, I had an 89 CRX Si! I'm quite familiar with the interior of those things, and yeah, adding much of anything to that car is a challenge!

We clearly have too much in common!

In your RoadRunner install directory, there will be a text file named "Skin Commands.txt" which gives you a list of all of them, and what they do. :-)

Well as long as the mouse clicks work for you then I'm sure it is something on my side. I had moment in between calls this morning and did just that to the config... I'll test when I get home.

Haha wow.. It gets better.. I have an 88 Si, and my exploder is a 96 Eddie Bauer! Ah man, thats just funny

Any progress on reproducing my error?

Unfortunately not. I'm getting ready for my sisters wedding today, and got interrupted by my normal job when I was trying to work on this (how rude).

Probably have a chance to look at it tomorrow, or next week. :-)

Well I have managed to get my SN working the way I like it...

At the main menu of the skin I am running you will get mouse movement, audio control, and winamp present control. If you go to the Song browser, volume control changes to song selection scrolling.

Here it is for anyone thats interested.

This was based off of Inh's config, thanks again man.

aw man, this is cool" I've been using the sn for months as just a mouse in my old install, but new install is getting the sn too, guess I gotta dig into this code & start configuring.

now if used this way with rr, what does it do when outside of rr?

[inh]

it will behave the same way no matter what program you are using it wth =]

[turbocad6]

so it can be a mouse in the windows shell & be configured for rr & cf at the same time?, & could be customized for most other apps too?

[inh]

Yep yep =] Just gotta find out what hotkeys are used for the app and use the driver program to send them =] i plan on improving my config for use with google maps, iguidance, and probably more..

[turbocad6]

that is so cool, so cool... man, I gotta really start playing with this...

[vinzer]

Awesome stuff Got my SN and installed in my car. Pics to follow. Also I've setted up to work with SD in a very nice way, so I'll post my config.xml a bit later as well !

Thank you to everyone who participating in this SN project !!!

If I have this for contexts:

Code:

<contexts>
    <context name="Default"
      deviceContext="Mouse" />
	<context name="Mouse"
      deviceContext="Mouse" />
     <context name="****"
	 deviceContext="SpaceNavigator" />
  </contexts>

**** is the variable im talking about below. If i set **** to "Audio" It defaults to loading the SPaceNavigator context.
In fact, any value from A to D does it. But only uppercase. And if i try something like "Dill" it wont cause the error.
If i set it to anything else, Like E, no problems..So it seems the issue is only with uppercase letters, and only those few.

So for now, I set the Context name to Media, for the play/pause commands and the like. So far so good,at least it's switching the contexts now.

Last issue I've found is that when it recieves the command to switch contexts, it does, but the mouse buttons dont get redefined and set to the
new context.

Okay... I finally figured this out, and I can probably fix it, though it's not really a trivial change, so I think I'll put it off, in favor of adding a couple new features, like LED control, and a configuration tool.

Basically, when the app starts up, it switches to the "last" context in the list. The problem is, the list is sorted alphabetically, rather than in the order it's show in the configuration file. I need to use a different data structure internally to avoid this, so there are a lot of places it needs to change.

It's on the TODO list. :-)

[inh]

awesome =] now just knock out that LED control =D

Thanks Cherrybomb!
