New Input project
Hello, I thought I might take a moment or two to show something that i just started working on, that might end up being a pretty good VR controller in the end...well that is the goal so let's all...
Honestly doing this is why I haven't touched FreePie. A lot of the interface needs some work. Like the Razor AHRS Plug needs work with the Sync request. It fails nearly %100 of the time on that Plug for me. :(
As far as censor fusion, if you guys need some help with any algorithmic work I might be able to help, just send me a PM with your Code, I can look at it.... :O)
But making sure you have the IR for reference keeping the yaw stable is necessary. Usually in an IMU the Magnetometer will do this, but I didn't need it because I can get that directional value from the IR lights( and it is more stable as a reference, and easier to code too). Between each set of two lights is a center point. As you rotate around the center point will readjust as you move around between more sets of placed lights. The light don't have to be grouped in the way that the Wii-sensor bar has them... That is the theory anyway that I am working off, but I have yet to get the gun together all the way yet, it still needs engineering on better battery placement, and a few other things. ;)
