Orbshield v1.0 Kit

This is the OrbShield, a small circuit board which interfaces with the Arduino microcontroller to convert serial gaming devices to USB HID plug-and-play controllers. It was designed for the SpaceTec SpaceOrb 360, a 6-degree-of-freedom controller for 3d games, and currently supports the SpaceOrb 360 and the Spaceball 2000, 3000, and 4000 series of 3-d CAD controllers.

It has been tested to work with Arduino software version 0016.

Model: OSK103B1P
