Integrating 3Dconnexion SpaceMouse

This example shows how to integrate a HID device into REXYGEN project. It is preconfigured for the 3DConnexion SpaceMouse.

To use this example you should know how a Linux input device is working.

To list the HID devices connected to the target device you can install the input-utils package and check the HID device with *input-events /dev/input/event0. It is working, when the connected HID device is the only one connected to target device.

Read the complete description of the REXLANG function block for more details.

Prerequisites

• REXYGEN Runtime Core must be installed and running on the target device.
• Operating system of the target device must be Linux.
• The 3DConnexion SpaceMouse must be the only one HID device connected to the target device.

Running the example

• The *hid_exec.mdl file is the project main file.
• Open it with REXYGEN Studio, compile and download it to the target device.
• Switch to Watch mode and observe the algorithm.
• Select the TRND block and enable online monitoring (Target->Watch Selection).
• Double-click the TRND block in Watch mode to view time plots of the data.
