Thanks kenyee for that info.
Hey Vic, a quick question. How do i make windows sww the orbotron as a joystick? Right now it is seeing the orbotron as a keyboard. Any ideas?
Hope your well. It's been pretty quiet around here.

Hi Vic. I'm using a Razer Naga mouse. It has 12 programmable buttons on side plus 2 on top. enough buttons for me, plus the 12 on the 4000. I tested the WASD sketch and works fine. Since i'm using with a mouse, I disabled all the mouse axis emulation in the sketch. A bit more stable in the movement ...

Well some good news. I changed the new orbotron_translator.h file by copying the gain commands from the 5000 section to the 4000 section and changed the joystick.ino to use chart_1 sensitivities and voila, the 4000 FLX's work flawlessly in Retrovirus. I am using the 4000 on my left and the mouse on ...

Hi all, haven't been around for awhile and thought I'd take a look at what progress has been made. I received one of the first prototypes from vic so thanks again vic! I had a spaceorb 360 and it works
well. I bought a pair of IBM rebranded 4000 FLX spaceballs off ebay for $10 and they work ...

Just my 2 cents. I d/l the arduino enviroment 1.0.3 as per installation instructions for orbotron 9000.
I then copy/pasted the Orbotron directories as per installation instructions.
I plugged in the Orbotron 9k and checked the COM port in device manager.
I started Arduino 1.0.3 and set the COM port ...

Hi Vic, I did receive your PM. Did you get mine? If so, let me know if paypal is
ok and let me know how much you need to cover shipping and parts and whatever
else you need. I'm looking forward to testing. I can do soldering if needed but would
prefer finished board to eliminate any errors on my ...

Sounds good Vputz. PM me and let me know what you need to
make this happen. Really looking forward to trying this tech out.

Btw, I am playing Retrovirus and it's pretty good. Has anyone tried their space orb
with that game and how does it perform? Using mouse and keyboard is very difficult
for me. Even if I lower mouse sensitivity to 100 dpi and set in game to 0, it's very
jerky. I resorted to using a Saitek P990, and it ...

Sounds great vputz. Any chance I can get a "test" board? I'm dying to try it out. I'm
pretty competent with computers and will familiarize myself with the Arduino programming
environment. But it looks simple enough. Thanks again for all the hard work.

Good work vputz, question?Will the smd version still be able to run both wasd and normal space ball modes?

getting excited to try it out

Viktor I don't have a serial port on my comp.so I had to use
a serial to usb adapter. So no fun for me.

Hello and thank you for your efforts. I'm in the states and recently dug up my SpaceOrb 360 and would love to get it working in Win 7 64 bit. I was an electronics
technician in the Navy, and not too scared of soldering, though I have never soldered SMC parts. I would prefer a completed solution and ...
