Hi all,
Does any one know how to acquire Signal from 3DConnection SpaceNavigator?
I'd like to know the attitude of the joystick.
thanks

I'm not sure since I've never used one of these before but a quick check of the website makes me think your going to need to start by looking at the SDK from the website. Most likely the information you seek will be available via the dll calls.

Ive had luck using the active X VIs to get data from it. Check the devkit on the 3Dconnexion site, it has the definitions of all the commands.

Hi Neil84,
You can monitor your "3DConnection SpaceNavigartor" with the "Input Device Control palette".
I invite you to read the following information on our website about this topic

Neil84,
The "Input Device Control" VIs in LabVIEW did not work for me. They do not detect the 3DConnexions device not can they read data from it.
Has anyone gotten this to work in LabVIEW?
Thx

Works great for me,
all I did was plug in the SpaceNavigator, using the drivers windows found itself and I could get data from it using the "Initialize Joystick" and "Acquire Input Data" VI's

Hi,
I am having the same trouble, LV can't detetct the joystic/Space Navigator
I am inputing the device id to be 0 (default) as there is only 1 joystick installed, all I get is -1 for the buttons and none for axes.
Do I need to install the proper driver using the NI VISA Wizard or am I missing anything, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
FYI, using LV 2014

I realized that as soon as you install the 3Dconnexion driver (3Dconnexion home) for the Space Navigator, LabVIEW can no longer read data from the Space Navigator. After I uninstall the driver, LabVIEW again reads the data fine. (A restart is required after uninstalling the Space Navigator driver.)

I can only see it as an emulated joystick (KMJ Emulator) in LabVIEW 32-bit. In LabVIEW 64-bit I see a bunch of other devices listed as joysticks (including my USB keyboard), but no KMJ Emulator.
(I'm using Win 10 64-bit)
