This is my own 3D mouse use to navigate in 3D software like Fusion 360.
The left joystick is use for translations and the right joystick is use for rotations.
You will need an Arduino pro micro, an micro USB cable, some M2*6 and M2*8 self tapping screws, and 2 joysticks HW-504.
Printing
You can choose to print the shell with or without dot. Dots and the shell should be printed in thin layers otherwise you will see the layers like on mine.
You can print the weight in vase mode and use it to make a mold with paster. Then poor melted lead. You can make 2 weights and hotglue them on both sides of the arduino. Weights are not mandatory.
Wiring
Wire the arduino :
| Arduino | Joysticks |
| A0 | joystick 1 VrX |
| A1 | joystick 1 VrY |
| A2 | joystick 2 VrY |
| A3 | joystick 2 VrY |
| RAW | Both joysticks Vcc |
| GND | Both joysticks GND |
Assembly
Glue dots on the shell, screw joysticks on base with M2*6 self tapping . Once you tested everything you can screw the shell on the base with M2*8 self tapping
Software
It works with this drivers : https://3dconnexion.com/fr/drivers/
I use arduino IDE 2.1.1
I use and modified Conradcn code.
First thing you must add what's in the file “add to boards.txt” to this the end of this file :
G:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.6\boards.txt
then comment in the file G:\Users\MyName\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.6\platform.txt
the line :
build.usb_manufacturer="Unknown"
become
# build.usb_manufacturer="Unknown"
In arduino IDE choose the board "SpaceMouse"
then upload SpaceLadybug.ino.
Enjoy!
