Post by leonvr »

hello i'm new here, i must to say well done guys, really good website

i need some help ,i like to assbble head teaking that control the pc muse for monlight and use it with my vr headset , from my research i understand that one of the best ways is go with MPU-9250 and Arduino + FreePIE Through usb.
i don't have any understanding in programing so need some help or guide that i will show to one of my friends that do have some knowledge in programing.
my questions is :

1-how i can make FreePIE controll my pc muse in the easiest way ?
2-FreePIE will work with all the boards or only with some ? i ask it beacose the official site not do shipping to my country, i saw some board from china in ebay and wonder if it will work for me
3-can somone send ebay link for Arduino or other bord that will make the job

HI.
It works with any board that support the ahrs protocol or any board that can send out a comma separated string with the values (For example FreeIMU)
You can also write your own plugin if you want to add support for a new protocol

You can base your script on this one

It a script that uses a android device to control the mouse on a PC. You can change it to use any other device supported by FreePIE

A bit off-topic, but if you need only head tracking (mouse emulation) without additional flexibility, you can assemble a EDTracker http://edtracker.org.uk/
