Pointer Device
This item is for now available for purchase here
Check out this review.
I have a few units with broken accelerometers (3-axis mag still functions) for much reduced price. Contact me for details.
Features:
- Small waterproof case with 3 buttons.
- Substitute for a 3 button computer mouse with scrolling wheel. Move your pointer onscreen by rotating the box.
- Also can function as a 3 button and up to 6 axis joystick. The joystick is highly configurable.
- The magnetic sensors work well for calculating absolute position. Unlike gyroscope sensors, the sensors work in absolute coordinates, so no matter how you hold the device, if you point it up, the mouse moves up. The movement is more true; it isn't using the same filtering hacks used on gyro mouses.
- This device can be used for surveying. You need to attach a sight or laser, but once aligned to it (covered in users guide) the device can be configured to report information via usb when a button is pressed.
- There is not a scroll wheel, instead this function is implemented by holding a button down and moving normally, or by shaking the device up and down.
