      Hello,

      I would like to test my control algorithm written in labview on my x, y, z machine in sp.
      Is it possible to control the sketchy physics control panel thru a dll or something like that?

      Is it possible to use the same resources as the weemote uses to control motion, to write numeric values from a externally code written in in C,Java, python, labview. etc and in to sp?

      I have seen some similiar posts where people want to control the motion programatically in sp, and if it would work to to use one of the to methods above i believe this would be a god aproach to the possibility of implement control algorthms in sp. This would be great to simulate robotics buildt in sketchup!

      regards

      Fredrik

        The Wiimote hack works by emulating the joystick (and mouse I think).

        In that respect you can control things with a .dll. "Just" make a joystick emulator that accepts the inputs from whatever your controller is and translate to DirectX joystick values.

        It will probably be a bit easier to do what you want in SP3.
