Re: Renovations 3D for Android Hi Phil, I am a SW3D user that found this thread and Renovations 3d while trying to get my Bosch GLM 50c (the cheapest laser at $99 - https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-GLM-50-Bluetooth-Distance/dp/B015FCJTEA/) that supports Bluetooth. At present, Bosch has an IOs and Android App that allows you to collect output from the laser measure directly. There is also a 3rd party app called MagicPlan that also supports it. Neither interfaces well with SW3d. I reached out to Bosch as I was interested having them help make the output available as a HID for Windows/MacOS. Note there are two projects on GitHub that reverse engineered the connection to the device using python: (MacOS) https://github.com/piannucci/pymtprotocol and (Win10) https://github.com/prudhvirajstark if either of these were combined with this https://github.com/awelkie/pyhidapi -- it might do the job... so I reached out to Bosch with the idea, and they came back that they have a toolkit for developers to freely put into their IOs or Android app (they also said they would look at the feasibility of a PC HID interface. https://developer.bosch.com/web/bosch-glm-plr-app-kit/overview It would be great if it were incorporated into the Sweethome3d/Renovation 3d, as all of my files are already in SW3D. I am just a home user who used Sw3d for an apartment remodel, and now am helping my parents with some accessibility renovations. The challenge is that their plans were scanned in the 1990s, hence they need to be put in again. Maybe you could both look into how laser could be supported. Now that something like the Bosch is around 100$, it could be a very attractive option to be able to adjust measurements in realtime. I believe that it would make your software the holy grail for home renovation. Best regards, David |
