EDTracker New UI Sanity Check.

[pocketmoon]

Hi Folks,

I am rewriting the EDTracker UI using Unity (instead of Processing) in the hope that it actually works for everyone!

It is not yet fully functional but I'd like to find out if it runs OK for people. It should find your EDTRacker and respond to motion.

Works out of the box. Looking forward to seeing future improvements.

I'll check it out when I get home this evening.

Cheers rob, having a great time with EDTracker so far, I'll give this a try later tonight when I'm not looking after the kids

I got a few minutes spare between changing nappies and feeding
Yup works lovely.
no way to set new drift though, it just looks at the current data I guess? continuing to use the old EDTrackerUI as I need to re-do the drift every day

I thought it might just be me that has to recalibrate each day I use it. Thought it might be environmental changes affecting it, temperature and electromagnet interference.

Will test the new software when I get home.

working fine so far!

yeah the tracker works, didnt see it wasnt fully funcional yet my bad

 

[brumster]

Looks great for me, but I want an option to select a female avatar please. Complete with funbags.

 

[Kaputtnik]

Thanks Rob. Well done! Works for me. The old one didn't. Had to use the processing IDE workaround.


(But - there is always one - in this version the head movement is inverted. With the other UI the monitor would feel like a mirror. I find this one a little less intuitive.)

 

[ZZleeZZ]

Works fine for me.

+1 for a skinnable avatar with optional adjustable "attributes"

Thanks chaps,

With that feedback in mind I'll continue with the new version but keep the Processing one in step as well.

First version will be end of the weekend and should be 1:1 functionally with the Processing UI, with perhaps some extra tweeks

 

[Kaputtnik]

Good things take time. Don't rush. Enjoy your weekend. If you do this while programming then this is allright we me though.

Further to my previous post, this does work on my clapped out old XP machine, but still locks up on my Win 7 Dell Laptop.

Hi Bob,

Out of interest, do you have any other devices on com ports (visible in Device Manager) ?

Ah I thought you could be on to something there.

I had Com 3,15,24,25,26,27 all set to 'bluetooth over serial' but uninstalled them all and retried but it still freezes and repowering is the only way to recover

edit:

whilst typing above, after long pause the UI comes up, its just a very long pause 5 mins or so

It also gives different results to running on XP on there the Z axis value is so high (relative to X,Y) the head slowly revolves.

On the Laptop the Z value is quite low (relative to X,Y) but the head is just shaking wildly around on all axes
