FlyBox

Overview

The FlyBox is a rugged, high quality integrated joystick input device for your computer. It consists of a three axis joystick (pitch, roll, and yaw), two levers, eight discrete push buttons, and a trigger on the joystick. The FlyBox provides inputs to the computer through the serial port, and can be used instead of the mouse for:

• Vehicle simulations - flight, driving, tank etc.
• Database modeling - more intuitive feel.
• Three D modeling - easier to move in three dimensions with a three dimensional device.
• Architectural walk through

The FlyBox is packaged in a sturdy aluminum case. Connection to the computer is with an RS-232 serial cable so you can be working within minutes. The combination of rugged construction and portability make the FlyBox the ideal tool for trade shows, and provide numerous advantages over systems that require installation of a board into the workstation:

• No need to rebuild the operating system to include a special device driver.
• No need to open the computer to install an Analog to Digital board since the A/D conversion is handled internally by the FlyBox.
