In this video I go over the process of designing and building a DIY Space Mouse using a 3 axis magnetometer and the RP2040. This device is made for Fusion360 but can be adapted to other CAD applications. Current features: Orbit, Pan, Home view, Fit to view. I also go over workaround for setting up a keyboard shortcut for the Home View using a custom Add-in in Fusion 360, as it's not natively supported right now.
