Space Mouse support in DMGs #471

Open mgrindel opened 3 years ago

mgrindel commented 3 years ago

Firstly I have to express my gratitude for sharing your extensive work with all! Although I like all the functionality you have added I do not use your fork due to the lack of Space Mouse support... I know I can compile but would you please consider including support in your future pre-compiled releases? Many thanks for your consideration

realthunder commented 3 years ago

I am also puzzled as to why many complain about trouble using space mouse using my branch. I don't recall any specific changes about this. Anyway, I've just purchased one from Amazon. Hopefully I can solve this problem once and for all.

mgrindel commented 3 years ago

Wow! I was not expecting a response so soon... Your response is very much appreciated! From what I've read you simply need to have the drivers installed when you compile and support will be there. (this is for OSX not sure on other OS'es)

@mgrindel do you have issues with spacemouse on FreeCAD 0.19_pre master?

mgrindel commented 3 years ago

@luzpaz Hi, No problems at all with the last few versions on FreeCAD 0.19_pre master... :-)

I still have sometimes problems that my spacanavigator stops working in Debian AppImages. It happens in all versions since I switched over to LinkStage3 branch. There is no clear message or situation where this occurs, it looks random. Sometimes I can get it to work again after restarting the spacenavd deamon, but mostly I have to restart FC to get a functional navigator. Sorry to not being able to be more specific, as I said there is no clear moment this happens.

Aha yes I have found this on rare occasions in OSX as well. Usual only with very big modules and while moving the mouse and the space mouse simultaneously.... Mostly pausing/waiting for a short while will resume function but yes sometimes I have to restart fc to fix.

PS today's build is really smooth! Love it....

@luzpaz Hi, No problems at all with the last few versions on FreeCAD 0.19_pre master... :-)

My space mouse has arrived, and strangely it does not work with upstream FreeCAD 0.19 MacOSX build. I found a workaround referenced above to make it work on my test machine.

Hmm that's odd?You did load the driver? :-)The last 4 releases have been fine..... using FreeCAD_0.19-24267-macOS-x86_64-conda.dmg at the moment...Best regardsMark

Hmm... Maybe it's because 3DConnexion has recently upgraded their driver which causes it to break? The linked driver download address in upstream conda recipe has expired. I manually download and install the latest driver. Tested with upstream FreeCAD image and it does not work.

Just to add to the confusion:

Spacemouse runs fluidly on 0.19.1 but jumpy on LinkDaily. Tweaked different settings but to no avail. Latest Spacemouse driver installed (10.7.2).

For reference:

Let me know if I can help any further to figure things out.

JFYI, there's an upstream PR related to spacemouse https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/4924
