Touch C06AE Battery Compartments

Anonymous

Hi All,

This is somewhat embarrassing to ask, but got my Touch kit today and it didn't include any instructions -- how do you get the battery compartments open? I've tried every which way but it feels like I'm going to break them. And since I haven't got past that, I'm curious how it is supposed to connect to the computer; there was no dongle in the box, so is the camera also a wireless device to connect to the controllers?

I don't have mine yet. But, pretty sure it connects to the headset. Doesn't need a dongle.
Not sure about batteries.

You slide the side that rests in your palm downwards. It's easier if you push it from the top bit that's next to the Oculus button.

Yeah, @skyworxx is correct. You just slide it down (the outer half of the hand-grip). It may be tight at first, but shouldn't be too bad. Sometimes it helps to try push from the top.

The connection is wireless to the headset. You'll need a recent Engineering Sample in order to use the controllers. Older headsets, like DK2 or Crescent Bay won't work.

However, you probably didn't receive the instruction guide either. I can probably just post this to the forum when I get to the office in the morning.

OK cool thanks, I got it open. It wasn't easy -- took a lot of force and didn't really slide so much as suddenly pop off. I don't know how final this design is but I was thinking it might be nice if the hatch was held on magnetically like on my microsoft ergonomic desktop mouse.

Yeah, the battery compartments are definitely fiddly, I had problems getting them open as well. You have to open them back up to update the firmware / pair the controllers as well (or at least that's what I ended up having to do) so I ended up fighting with the covers quite a bit on the first day.

@cybereality I didn't seem to get the instruction guide in the box either, be great if you could post it here.

I've had issues getting both cameras to work together too. I tried the multisensorrecenter app and it seemed to work but not sure I've actually got things correct. Any more info on that setup would be helpful too.
