Read More…A 6DOF DIY HID. A what? A 6 degrees of freedom, do it yourself, human interface device. In other words, a 3D mouse, or an open hardware SpaceNavigator. You know, one of these thingies CAD designers use to zoom around.
All the existing DIY designs out there I could find are not actually 6DOF. Some are literally a knob on a joystick. So I set out to make a better one.
This one is based on a stewart platform made from potentiometers. It was designed so that any idiot with access to a 3D printer can build one. You might even get away with some careful jigsawing!
Note: this product is fully assembled. To make your own, take a look at the Github page.
This is the second iteration of this design, with reduced height, improved ergonomics, added buttons, and other tweaks. The current Arduino software registers as a 6 axis joystick. This means it can be used in any game on any platform. Combined with spacenavd it can also be used in CAD software under Linux. My current Arduino code is NOT compatible with 3Dconnexion drivers.
