Could anyone help with edtracker please ?

Hi - New to the forums (and ED) so, first of all, hi :)

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is I am missing (has to be something obvious) :

I have bought a pre-built 9510 edtracker and it seems to work perfectly BUT I am experiencing the following : In game (and in the edtracker GUI calibration software), the up/down axis is perfect but the left/right axis DOES work however it resets back to center. So, say I turn my head to the left, the virtual head also turns but if I keep my head to the left, the virtual head returns to center.

Any ideas would be much appreciated :)

Hi,

That kind of recentering is usually a symptom of one of two things:

Magnetometer Calibration needs performing or
Orientation is not set correctly

Steps to resolve:

Load up the latest UI (V 4.0.4)
Check that the latest sketch is loaded (once connected should show as 4.0.3)
Perform a magnetometer calibration (http://edtracker.org.uk/index.php/using/calibration)
Select the orientation value (Rotate Mounting Axis) in the UI to match how you have it mounted (i.e. which way the USB cable faces)

See if that helps :)

Could this not just be the in game camera movent versus rl head movement setup in the config sw?

[EDIT - On re-reading the op I think s/he is talking about turning his/her head to one side and holding rather than turning his/her head until the view resets/flips over which is a completetly different issue - my humblest apologies]

Thanks all - after a PROPER calibration it works perfectly.

I guess I should have actually WATCHED the YT video referenced in the instructions first lol :) :)

WOW... Edtracker is amazing !
