FreePie mouse emulator not working despite data feed
Posted: Sat Jan 24, 2015 11:55 am
Hello,
I'm really new to all of this and am having trouble with getting my Android Smartphone working as a VR head tracking/mouse emulating device in conjunction with FreePie.
What i did was to first start the FreePie desktop app, then load up the mouse emulator script in it (in fact i already tried out a bunch of these since i'm not familar with coding myself, but none of them seem to work), then turn on the android FreePie IMU app afterwards - And then nothing happens.
I double-checked with Opentrack too to see if anything's wrong with the sensor feed, but the octupus animation there indicates that the android data is being received with no problems - Though as soon as i attempt to emulate the mouse and press "Run Script" in FreePie it stops moving again at the same time.
The odd thing is that according to the OpenTrack animation mentioned above all the data from the gyro/sensors seems to be getting received but for some reason it's not getting translated into mouse movements as it should. Not even an error report by FreePie or something along those lines, it's just that nothing happens at all when i run the FreePie mouse script and the FreePie IMU application at the same time.
Can anyone point out what i'm doing wrong or what's interfering with the mouse emulation process? I'd be very glad for any and all advice here... Should i opt for completely re-installing FreePie?
-Thanks in advance
