FreeTrack 2.1 source

Post by WiredEarp »

Does anyone have the source code for TrackIR 2.1 they can send me? Their SVN server seems to be down.

Yeah, sorry, I should have been clearer, not writing a FreePIE TrackIR plugin, just want to whip up something basic that pumps data from the Hydra directly to a TrackIR interface.
Once I have that going sweet, I'll look into splitting it into a FreePIE Hydra plugin (and maybe a TrackIR plugin if no-one has released a TIR plugin by then).

EDIT: thanks for the Freetrack heads up. I've fuond out that if you wish to get the older versions, the login/pw is anon/anon.

I think you are better off with the FaceTrackNOIR C version, I had a look at the FreeTrack Delphi version, what a language, I couldn't find any solid code related to TrackIR :D

I think the TrackIR code is only in V2.1 - they removed it in V2.2. Were you looking in the 2.2 codebase by any chance?

It seems that anon/anon login has stopped working for 2.1 again. I installed SVN and went to get the 2.1 code but it no longer accepts that login. Should have just grabbed the files using my browser ;-(

Will have a look at the FaceTrackNoIR version as well, its always good to get a look at a few different implementations.

What they removed in 2.2 was the support for the TrackIR camera, but the fake trackir server is still there.... I have the 2.2 source localy at home if you want it...

Edit: come to think about, it strange they demanded the camera support removed and not the fake TIR server, the camera ownser have paid for the prodcut but the ones using the fake tir server probaly has freetrack or other tracker.. :)

Here is a FaceTrackNoIR port of the read part
This code can not read from Freetrack, it reads from GlovePIE but the data is all wrong. please try it out

edit: what is strange is that the position is correct, if i write to Yaw yaw is what i get but the data is not correct

If anyone grabs the latest source the next time it's around, it's probably worth putting it up on GitHub. It makes branching/forking/collaborating/merging/sharing source rediculously easy. They have a guide for how to import from SVN: http://help.github.com/import-from-subversion/

My brother and I are a little closer to understand how this works, Naturalpoint have really tried to make it really hard to emulate their interface (Even with the unencryped version).. For somereason it works sometimes, but most of the cases it doesnt work. I thnk we are missing some kind of hand shake between client and server
