# pySpaceMouse
3Dconnexion Space Mouse in Python using raw HID.
Note: you **don't** need to install or use any of the drivers or 3Dconnexion software to use this package.
It interfaces with the controller directly.

Forked from: [johnhw/pyspacenavigator](https://github.com/johnhw/pyspacenavigator)

Implements a simple interface to the 6 DoF 3Dconnexion [Space Mouse](https://3dconnexion.com/uk/spacemouse) device as well as similar devices. The following 3dconnexion devices are supported:

* SpaceNavigator
* SpaceMouse Pro 
* SpaceMouse Pro Wireless
* SpaceMouse Wireless
* 3Dconnexion Universal Receiver
* SpaceMouse Compact
* SpacePilot Pro

Requires [easyhid](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/easyhid/) to access HID data - multiplatform package


## Basic Usage:

````py
import pySpaceMouse
import time

success = pySpaceMouse.open()
if success:
    while 1:
        state = pySpaceMouse.read()
        print(state.x, state.y, state.z)
        time.sleep(0.01)
````  
## State objects      
State objects returned from read() have 7 attributes: [t,x,y,z,roll,pitch,yaw,button].

* t: timestamp in seconds since the script started. 
* x,y,z: translations in the range [-1.0, 1.0] 
* roll, pitch, yaw: rotations in the range [-1.0, 1.0].
* button: list of button states (0 or 1), in order specified in the device specifier

## Usage with callback

````py
import pySpaceMouse
import time


def button_0(state, buttons, pressed_buttons):
    print("Button:", pressed_buttons)


def button_0_1(state, buttons, pressed_buttons):
    print("Buttons:", pressed_buttons)


def someButton(state, buttons):
    print("Some button")


def callback():
    button_arr = [
        pySpaceMouse.ButtonCallback(0, button_0),
        pySpaceMouse.ButtonCallback([1], lambda state, buttons, pressed_buttons: print("Button: 1")),
        pySpaceMouse.ButtonCallback([0, 1], button_0_1),
    ]

    success = pySpaceMouse.open(dof_callback=pySpaceMouse.print_state, button_callback=someButton,
                                button_callback_arr=button_arr)
    if success:
        while True:
            pySpaceMouse.read()
            time.sleep(0.01)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    callback()
````

## API

    open(callback=None, button_callback=None, button_callback_arr=None, set_nonblocking_loop=True, device=None)      
        Open a 3D space navigator device. Makes this device the current active device, which enables the module-level read() and close()
        calls. For multiple devices, use the read() and close() calls on the returned object instead, and don't use the module-level calls.
    
        Parameters:        
            callback: If callback is provided, it is called on each HID update with a copy of the current state namedtuple
            dof_callback: If dof_callback is provided, it is called only on DOF state changes with the argument (state).
            button_callback: If button_callback is provided, it is called on each button push, with the arguments (state_tuple, button_state) 
            device: name of device to open, as a string like "SpaceNavigator". Must be one of the values in `supported_devices`. 
                    If `None`, chooses the first supported device found.            
        Returns:
            Device object if the device was opened successfully
            None if the device could not be opened
        
    read()              Return a namedtuple giving the current device state (t,x,y,z,roll,pitch,yaw,button)
    close()             Close the connection to the current device, if it is open
    list_devices()      Return a list of supported devices found, or an empty list if none found
    
    
open() returns a DeviceSpec object. If you have multiple 3Dconnexion devices, you can use the object-oriented API to access them individually.
Each object has the following API, which functions exactly as the above API, but on a per-device basis:

    dev.open()          Opens the connection (this is always called by the module-level open command, 
                        so you should not need to use it unless you have called close())
    dev.read()          Return the state of the device as namedtuple [t,x,y,z,roll,pitch,yaw,button]
    dev.close()         Close this device
    
There are also attributes:

    dev.connected       True if the device is connected, False otherwise
    dev.state           Convenience property which returns the same value as read()
    
## Predefined callbacks

````py
import pySpaceMouse
import time

success = pySpaceMouse.open(dof_callback=pySpaceMouse.print_state, button_callback=pySpaceMouse.print_buttons)
if success:
    while 1:
        state = pySpaceMouse.read()
        time.sleep(0.01)
````

### Callback: print_state
Print all axis states 

    x +0.00    y +0.00    z +0.00 roll +0.00 pitch +0.00  yaw +0.00    t +0.0
    
### Callback: print_buttons
Print all buttons states

    [ 0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0,   0, ]
