Using FreePIE with FreeTrack / TrackIR and ANDROID

[MixsStar]

Hello everyone!

I want to use my Nexus 5 as a Head Tracking device placing it at top of my head and using the gyroscope as the source of heading and pitch and yaw and roll. I managed it to work with the Mouse Emulator script but i cant make it work with for example Arma 2 or War Thunder. What i want is something like FaceTrackNoIR but the camera is my phone and my face are the sensors, dunno if i explaned well.

So please, could you help me?

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome!

Have you tried the Android > Freetrack example?

http://andersmalmgren.github.io/FreePIE ... -freetrack

[MixsStar]

Yes, I have

[CyberVillain]

What happens? Errors etc?

[MixsStar]

Nothing happens. It just does anything

[CyberVillain]

Can you please check that the path to the freetrack client dll is correct in the registry.

[MixsStar]

How do i do it?

[CyberVillain]

With regedit check that

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freetrack\FreetrackClient

Points to the FreePIE folder

[MixsStar]

it points here: C:/Program Files (x86)/Abbequerque Inc/FaceTrackNoIR/

I dont know if thats correct or not

[CyberVillain]

That is wrong, please delete that entry and FreePIE should add correct path. Will fix this so its done automatically for next release

[MixsStar]

Ok so now my path is: C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeTrack\
and by diagnostics.watch(freeTrack.yaw) i can see the numbers changing as i move my phone but War Thunder is still doing nothing

Any ideas?

[CyberVillain]

FreePIE and Freetrack uses the same client dll so that should work, but more correctly it should point to the FreePIE folder.

Just for debugging does this script work with the game?

Code: Select all

if starting:
	yaw = 0

yaw += 0.01

if yaw > 90:
	yaw = -90

freeTrack.yaw = math.radians(yaw) 

[MixsStar]

Nope. It doesnt work...

I have to point out that im using Windows 8.. What could be hapenning?

[CyberVillain]

Dont know, never had problems with the Freetrack emulation. Does the actual freetrack client work?
What game is it? IS there a demo?

[CyberVillain]

Is it War Thunder? Looks like it support TrackIR not Freetrack

[MixsStar]

So what would be the script for TrackIR?

[MixsStar]

I tried this script but didnt work:

Code: Select all

if starting:
   yaw = 0

yaw += 0.01

if yaw > 90:
   yaw = -90

trackIR.yaw = math.radians(yaw)
diagnostics.watch(trackIR.yaw)
