Hi All,
Have just got a Sparkfun 9DOF which I am using with AHRS firmware.
I want to test it out using some PC games that support the TrackIR.
I have downloaded Codemaster Dirt 2 demo. I have also downloaded the TrackIR Fixer to remove the encryption.
I have started FreePIE and setup the AHRS plugin and am using the following script:
def update():
trackIR.yaw = ahrsImu.yaw
trackIR.pitch = ahrsImu.pitch
trackIR.roll = ahrsImu.roll
diagnostics.watch(ahrsImu.yaw)
diagnostics.watch(ahrsImu.pitch)
diagnostics.watch(ahrsImu.roll)
if starting:
ahrsImu.update += update
But when I start Dirt 2 and go into cockpit view the head tracking is not working? Do I need to install any additional software to get it to work? Not sure what else I need to do to get it to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt.

I also tried this using my iPhone sensor data.
And as you have said, I get nothing in game.

Re: Emulating TrackIR
Good news, FreePIE do work with Dirt 2 demo
Start FreePIE and run your script
Put TrackIRFixer.exe in the dirt2 folder and start it, check that it finds Dirt exe and that it waits for you to start it.
Start dirt2.exe
It only tracks from cockpit view
If it does not work check things like run as admin and such, I have full admin rights on my w7 machine with UAC turned off
TrackIrfixer should look like attached jpeg

Hey,
I got it working in the end. Not sure what I did different this time though! . At least it is working now.
Thanks, Matt.
