EDTracker in use for BMS 4.33
-
Hey I’ve recently put together EDtracker with a 9250 magnetometer and works perfect using opentrack. I have configured opentrack profile curves also for pseudo-6 degrees of freedom and I’ m happy with it. Looking for other users who experimented with different curve settings to exchange profiles.
For those who dont know EDtracker http://www.edtracker.co.uk/

Would you mind posting a video and share your opentrack profile?

Here’s the version I’m using with the EDtracker built into my HGU-55. I’m pretty happy with it.

Only thing I have is that I always have to recalculate the bias in ED tracker software when I boot my pc, and at some points it seems stable in ED tracker UI but once in pit my head starts drifting to the left in a way it’s unbearable. Hitting center (F9 for me) recenters and immediately starts drifting again.
Another problem with ED tracker compared to my TrackIR is that I find it harder to keep my head really steady when pointing the mouse cursor on my left & right consoles.

I obtained a ready made unit but quickly ran out of patience trying to get working. On the shelf awaiting some renewed interest.
-
Bought mine a while back.
Took a bit of fiddling to get the FreeTrack software dialed in. But it works fine.
Only drawbacks were the Usb chord and no Zoom axis. -
They make them wireless, now. Bought mine just before that became an option XD

Hello Blu3wolf,
Thanks for the info.

Received my wireless today. Will try this weekend!
-
…ooooooh…forgot about the wireless one…I have a wired one…I better get off the stick!
-
Forget it Stevie, at least until they get certified by the USA for wireless transmission. Im waiting on that for a long time. I have the wired pro version and its a bit fiddly to set up with the freeware camera software, but it works nice. Its biggest draw back is no zoom axis (for wired or wireless pro)
EDIT: time to eat my own words…

FCC certification is with us!http://www.edtracker.co.uk/
Note they have a new websiteOrdered mine with tracking for $89.23 (66.35 quid)
Guess ill have a wired EDTrackerPro for sale now.

I am considering making my own version, using the firmware used on the no-drift headtracker project for FPV RC planes.
Found a link on how to flash HC-05 with RN-42 but this is piracy. But a $20-ish RN42 should allow you to make a $30-ish diy wireless version that uses bluetooth, and hevaes like a HID device (joystick)

Got mine to canada last week. I have to admit that I’m a little bit disapointed.
Drift problem, unaccurate when you have to click in the 3D pit, need to make the “0” very often (too much), etc…
Its installed on the top of a cap.
Goupil send me his curves. Its better now for the movement but still innacurate and drifting…
-
I made a video on youtube of my problem…
-
Try aligning it lying flat and static on a table top, and not on your head…if you haven’t done that already. I did that with my wired one and it seems to operate fine.

I done many calibration, auto bias, always on a table that’s why I’m a little bit disapointed about the precision of the system. Hope to be able to find a solution soon… My patience begins to be short.

Interesting…can’t see why the wireless version would act any different from the wired. Unless there really is an RF or magnetic interference issue. Have you checked that you are using the latest firmware?
-
I open a case on the edtracker website and someone answer me and try to figure whats happen. Will tell you whats happen next.
-
I have the same issue, but noticed only yesterday, and I have edtracker from some time. The only change I have made (in hardware) is that I replaced my headphones with a new lighter. Will do some more test.

What does the manufacturer ED Tracker say about this?
Is there settings in the software to affect the drift or return to zero?
