[OpenSPIM] Z axis wheel

[Feinstein, Timothy N]

Hi folks,

Jean-Francois Depatie from Picard just let me know that the new version of their controller software is fully compatible with a 3D controller called 'Space Mouse'.  Apparently you just plug it in and the updated stage GUI detects it.

I just ordered one and will report back how it works.

Best,

Hello,

Has anyone tried using a digital focus wheel to control one of the axes of the Picard stage in OpenSpim/Micro-Manager?  In theory a joystick with a wheel on it would be even better.  Any experience appreciated.

Thanks and all the best,


Tim
