9 DOF Arduinoheadtracking

[dennisnojack]

On my XBOX i had a Kinect-Sensor (Headtracking for Forza only yaw). This Hardware don't work with Windows.
Then i found TrackIR very expensive but Tracking-Hardware at its best.

Then i found this.



I bought a GY-85 9DOF Sensor (10 Euro). Follow the instructions. Very Simple and it works nice.

Here my Test.

interesting! thanks for sharing this

there is another way that works fine: playstation Eye webcam + TrackNoIR
facial recognition (no hat, no leds)

I modified the FreePie FreeImuPlugin (only yaw,pitch,roll in masterversion) to support all six axis (yaw, pitch, roll, x, y, z).

I also recode the FreePie Python-Script to support all six axis.

For my Arduino Pro Mini 328p, i recode the yaw,pitch,roll script. Now i have a 6 DOF-Headtracking-Hardware.

Hi there!
Dennisnojack could you please share that freepie project that supports all 6 axis?
