Free Track Working??
Hi People,
I have decided to build a "Free Track" setup but have trouble getting it working correctly. Is there anyone who has it operating correctly that can show me the way?? Cheers Rick

I have the basic setup with 3 led cap but probably need the correct profile to get it to work. One time I will set it up and it works intermitantly, next time it won't work at all. It is really frustrating me.

here's mine using ps3 eye, microsoft vx1000 works good too, just takes more work to set exposure, ps3 eye just has some sliders to set exposure. doesn't matter what your profile is called, you could use any, mine is still called il2 1946. also make sure your center view button isn't set to toggle in the controls menu in freetrack, that will make it not work while it's toggled. other than that? are you using ir leds? sanded them flat? taken out the ir filter, covered lense with floppy disk material? hope something here helps, Jay

1) your camera settings are off. press the "camera" button on the "camera" tab to change those, or 2) the "stream" settings are off. press the "stream" button on the "camera" tab to change those, or 3) the threshold setting is off on the "cam" tab (btw, adjust this last), or 4) maybe also you have too much light in the room your playing in and it is affected by sunlight from windows, time of day? tips -I would use rgb24 in the stream settings. -I have success setting all the camera settings to zero except for brightness I set that to maximum value 10000 and gain is set to 10000 too. -make sure auto gain is unchecked/off -exposure rate no less than 30s. mine right at 30s. -image mirrors, unchecked/disabled -anti flicker unchecked/disabled -image enhancers like rightlight, unchecked/disabled. -the last thing to adust is the threshold bar. if you set it up "good to go", then you will notice there is just one spot on that threshold bar where the red dot will show up. if you are off that mark, then everything is either all red or all black in the test window. When you find that mark, you won't have to change it again as long as your room lighting conditions are consistent and your freetrack headset is working correctly. The "profile" tab is for setting up the input/output axis and the "curves" tab is for for shaping the axis to your head movement. I don't think these would not make it freetrack act intermittent. But you do need to configure them. There's some other settings you also need to consider, fps, pixel size min/max...etc. Last edited by MadBlaster; 10-05-2011 at 04:47 AM.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will try those. Jay, I am also using a VX 1000 but have removed the IR filter. I am using "Yellow" leds as suggested on "Youtube" setup demo, is this adviseable??.
Madblaster, I will try your settings and see what happens. Appreciate both your help. Cheers Rick

by the way i'm using freetrack as well with the ps3 cam and its working perfectly except for some random errors... maybe someone using this hardware can help out:
when i start freetrack first time I often get some "exception error" or so and I have to close freetrack and start it again to make the ps3cam working. also when i uncheck the auto-buttons in the cam driver menue it doesn't save the manual exposure value for the next start. This wasn't always so but reinstalling drivers or changing usb port doesn't help so far. Any tweaks I'm not aware of? greets zwieback

S!
I use super bright IR-leds (invisible to human eye), M$ VX-3000 cam with IR-filter removed + 2 layers of diskette as visual light blocker. No matter the lighting conditions, always works perfectly. Only thing I had to adjust in the FreeTrack program was the Threshold, and the sensitivities for each axis. ... Disabled the Z-axis (movement and translation), don't like it  EDIT: The leds I use have a somewhat narrow effective cone of IR-light out of the box, so I did some tuning with fine grain sandpaper. Made the tip dome non-clear so it will radiate more to the sides. Makes it possible to use more head movement and angle.

When you launch FT check that the skull is moving in response to your head movement. Any problems at this point need to be sorted and that you have three defined dot images of your LED's and no stray light interference (a single incident of stray light will stop FT working). Also check the correct clip is assigned in the set up (i.e. 3 point hat,etc). How well FT performs is very much down to set up and type of LED used.
When FT is working reasonably well you can launch CloD but depending on your camera and system specs it can hang when you start a mission. Go back to desktop and leave CloD running in the background and check FT Skull is still moving. If it isn't then use task manager to kill FT and re-launch it. You can launch FT after CLoD has been launched (if you are getting conflicts/FT hangsh) - it will still work in game. Once you get it working reasonably well I would upgrade to wide angle IR LEDS - Osram SH451??? (something like that but the exact model/part number is referenced on FT website). I started with a MS VX1000 lifecam but now use a PS3 eyecam with a 3 point clip fitted with Osram wide angle IR LED's. FT correctly set up is superb!
