3DConnexion, 6 axis controllers, please add support
« on: October 04, 2008, 12:38:49 PM »
Hi everyone,

Would there be any possibility to add support for the 3DConnexion line of 6 axis (or 6 DOF) mice? The Space Navigator is extremely affordable at only £34 in the UK ($50?) and would make a superb jog pendant. There is a full SDK available from the 3DConnexion website for adding support into Mach3. You could also add support into LazyCam too. I own a SpacePilot (top of their range) and it has revolutionised how I interact with CAD/CAM applications like Solidworks and Mastercam.

Have a look at these devices on the 3DConnexion website.http://www.3dconnexion.com

Thanks for looking.

regards, Jeff.

hi too :-)

i'm also interested in that.
do you know if anyone started to do that?

i'm new to mach3, but a (hopefully) fairly good programmer and also use a space navigator in CAD.
where can i find API-description, sdk, other stuff, ... for mach3?

maybe i'll find some time for that.

greetings from sunny austria :-).

This would be perfect for my 6 axis robot project!  I even have a bunch of space balls handy. Id love this feature.

I'm also setting up a six axis robot with Mach3, is there any thread related to 6 axis robot with Mach3?
here is my robot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meso-Wmbd_E
