Dear all,
we bought a SpaceNavigator (PE) (3DConnexion) and I still try to get
this device working in Linux (SuseLinux 10.1).
It works fine in Windows with the corresponding driver and I don't
need to configure anything corresponding to VMD.
In Linux it looks different:
- I managed to install the driver and all example programs, which
are distributed with the driver, work fine but not VMD.
Therefor I added following to .vmdsensors: device spacenav
sballtracker://local//proc/bus/usb/005/036
But VMD doesn't respond on moving the device.
- I also tried to use VRPN (Version 7.14) with this configuration:
vrpn_3DConnexion_Navigator device0
The client "vrpn_print_devices" program can connect to the
vrpn_server and prints for instance
Analog device0_at_localhost:
0.09, 0.07, -0.47, 0.19, -0.17, 0.16 (6 chans)
Analog device0_at_localhost:
0.01, 0.07, -0.47, 0.19, -0.17, 0.16 (6 chans)
Analog device0_at_localhost:
0.01, 0.07, -0.07, 0.19, -0.17, 0.16 (6 chans)
if I move the device.
Then I added following to .vmdsensors:
device spacenavtracker vrpntracker://exciton/device0
device spacenavbuttons vrpnbuttons://exciton/device0
The chose the tracker and the buttons in the TOOLS menu but
nothing happens except the message:
vrpn: Connection request received: 127.0.0.2 45092
vrpn_Connection: VRPN Note: minor version number doesn't match:
(prefer 'vrpn: ver. 07.14', got 'vrpn: ver. 07.03 0'). This is not
normally a problem.
I hope someone might help me to get our SpaceNavigator working.
Regards,
Carsten
