3Dconnexion mouse

[sgrogan]

@wmayer
Thanks for your attention to this!
@ektus
I'll build a snapshot from master as a final verification.

[foryou]

Hi,
I made some modifications wihin GuiApplicationNativeEventAwareWin32.cpp to add the "3dconnexion space mouse wireless" device support.
I added the 3Dconnexion vendor ID, product ID, extended the strcut tag_VirtualKeys..etc.
The device is recognized now, but not working..
@wmayer: Therefore, can you post/send your source code modifications?
I would like to add them and test the "space mouse wireless" modifications in an Win32 environment.

Thanks

@wmayer: Therefore, can you post/send your source code modifications?

The actual fix was pretty easy: http://sourceforge.net/p/free-cad/code/ ... ce3248e17/

And in case you need the extra log messages have a look at this:

Something isn't quite right: FreeCAD is using 100% CPU time on one core, albeit sitting idle with no model active (test object has been closed).

In the report window do you get a flood of messages there? If yes, this might be the reason for the heavy CPU load.

Nope, only when I move the 3D device. Then I get

Code: Select all

GUIApplicationNativeEventAware::OnRawInput: Handle raw input event
Call of GUIApplicationNativeEventAware::On3dmouseInput()
Event is triggered in foreground
GUIApplicationNativeEventAware::Move3d:
Send motion event to widget: Gui::DockWnd::ReportOutput
motionEvent[0]: 0
motionEvent[1]: 0
motionEvent[2]: 0
motionEvent[3]: 0
motionEvent[4]: 0
motionEvent[5]: 0

I just started it again, and it instantly jumps to 100% CPU.

Ektus.

I don't know if this helps but x32 and x64 snapshots from today's build from master (0.15.4646)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rj0idt7yj89d ... RdHca?dl=0
These are scripted builds so they should be the same as the official dev snapshots.

This last build seems to be working okay in a brief test. Space Mouse is working, CPU load is back to normal, self test finishes without errors but generates some output in the log window:

Hello,

@wmayer thanks for your support.
The "3dconnexion space mouse wireless" support seems to work (Windows).
May be I need to check if that the code changes have no side effects next.

I made all code changes within GuiApplicationNativeEventAwareWin32.cpp and did this in a privat copy, because I have no experience with Open Source code development.

I interested to propagate the wireless mouse support into FreeCad, but fear the expense of checking in code using the official way. Is there any "recipe" for doing it?

Regards

[wmayer]

It is sufficient to share a patch with the modifications you did. If you don't know how you can upload your complete GuiApplicationNativeEventAwareWin32.cpp file.

[foryou]

Thanks,

I initiated a pull request at FreeCAD_sf_master (as github user getitzack, foryou was claimed) for the modified GuiApplicationNativeEventAwareWin32.cpp file.
Did some functonal tests before.

Regards
