Rawmouse not loading in Cura 5 beta

[scotfor]

I get the following when starting cura 5:

Cura 5 plugin dir is:

I have it working in cura 4.13. This is the plugin directory structure:

Hi, yes, it's not compatible with Cura 5. I currently have no plans to use Cura 5 so I probably won't be doing the work to make it compatible myself. Sorry about that.

[fieldOfView]

Will you accept a PR if "someone else" does the work?

[fieldOfView]

Oh, wait, I see you are/have been working on it...

[smartavionics]

Hi @fieldOfView , yes, I am very happy to receive a PR to help make RawMouse compatible with Cura 5. As you saw, I've made a start and someone has now tried out those changes and reported that it doesn't work so there's more to do.

[fieldOfView]

My SpaceMouse is at my office. I'll try to have a look monday.

[smartavionics]

Thanks, but I think the problem at the moment is with the hidapi library I am using and until I get that fixed, it's not worth looking at the RawMouse code. Cheers, mb

@smartavionics - thanks for working on making Rawmouse cura 5 compatible.

[smartavionics]

Hi @fieldOfView. Aldo, I've made some changes and it now loads the hidapi module but my guinea pig reports that it still doesn't work. Looking at the cura.log, it appears that the thread that is started to open the HID device and read HID events never actually runs. Are you aware of any differences in Cura/Qt/Python that affect thread starting/scheduling? If you have any free time and want to have a play, please pull the master branch. Cheers, mb.

Hi @fieldOfView , I think I have found the bug, the thread was being started but was silently dying because I was using removed methods from the QTime class. I changed QTime to QElapsedTimer and that should fix it. Just waiting for the next report from the tester...

[smartavionics]

I believe it's now working OK with Cura 5, try https://github.com/smartavionics/RawMouse/releases/tag/1.2.1

[scotfor]

Thanks Mark. It does work for me in Windows 10.

[jxer]

Confirmed to work in latest 5.0 win10

Doesn't work for me in 5.4.0

It works works for Cura 5.4. Simply install the latest version from this repository here: https://github.com/smartavionics/RawMouse/releases

Here's the error in the log:

Hi @ledgend78 , are you using the latest release as suggested by @DivingDuck ?

[DivingDuck]

This looks bad. Are you sure having the latest version correctly installed?

Maybe this will help you:

Please make a save copy of your file C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\RawMouse\config.json and then delete the complete directory: C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\RawMouse C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\FastView

In addition delete the files (if exists): C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\.gitignore C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\README.md

Now download the plugin from here (Source Code (zip)): https://github.com/smartavionics/RawMouse/releases/tag/1.2.1 and unzip the file. Now copy the complete folder RawMouse-1.2.1 into the plugin directory: C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\

It should look like: C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\RawMouse-1.2.1

The last step is to copy your previously saved configuration file config.json to this location: C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\plugins\RawMouse-1.2.1\RawMouse\ (this step us only needed if you had modified your configuration file)

Before you start Cura again: please rename or delete the log file C:\Users\skull\AppData\Roaming\cura\5.4\cura.log. A new log file will help to find problems easier.

By the way, I haven't test the plugin for Cura 5.5 beta. So it is possible that the plugin do not work for this version too. I'm running Cura 4.13.1, 5.3.1 and 5.4.0 on Windows10 pro (x64) and for all of this versions the plugin is working fine.

I'm using a slightly modified version of the config file in case you have a 3Dconnexion Space mouse. With this setup the 3D space mouse behave like in an CAD system like Fusion360: config1.2.1.zip

Don't forget to deactivate the 3Dconnexion driver menu for Cura:

@smartavionics Oh, I was a little bit late. Hope you are doing well. :)

[smartavionics]

Thanks @DivingDuck for supporting this user. I'm fine but don't have a lot of free time for Cura related stuff right now.

[CE3-Caspernicus]

It worked, thank you

But all the controls are inverted, how do I change that?

[smartavionics]

Try reading the README.md file (as displayed at https://github.com/smartavionics/RawMouse) and you will see the answer.
