A great many thanks for this -- I went out to the local Apple store and purchased a Powermate specifically for this - and it's awesome! Now I just need to work on programming it to interface with NMRView ... Doug On May 6, 2004, at 4:50 PM, William Scott wrote: Thanks, Ezequiel! That is e

Nat, The short answer to your question is yes. I have developed a small python driver and an extension to pymol that allows you to use any USB input device as a 3D controller. It works with any USB device that generates events on /dev/input/event* I have also a torsion function that you can us

I'm very curious about this dial all of a sudden - I just started doing refinements, and I'd love to use my laptop as much as possible instead of our slow old SGIs. Has anyone used it on Linux? How's it work with O? Could it theoretically be programmed to, say, flip through rotamer libraries or t

This works, but it could ruin my sessions which are very important for us. Warren, is it possible to add the support of powermate into PyMol or MacPyMol? Since it works perfectly with O, I think it could be a very helpful control tool for PyMol too. == Jianghai Zhu M

Thanks, Ezequiel! That is exactly what I needed. I guess I need to RTFM some more... So for anyone else who might be interested, here is how to get the Powermate dial to play nice with Pymol (I did this on OS X but I assume it would be very similar on Windows). http://chemistry.ucsc.edu/~wg

[PyMOL] Powermate dial with Pymol on OS X

2004-05-05 Thread William Scott
Hi folks: I'd like to use my Powermate(TM) dial on OS X with Pymol. It works great with O and other programs. In essence, you can tell it to issue a keystroke when you turn the dial. At first, I thought I would try this: alias y, rotate y,0.1 Then I can program the stupid driver to issue a
