Uriah's tracking problem.
Posted: Sun Oct 14, 2012 6:36 pm
I am having a tracking problem recently. It started when I started playing WarThunder. But that may just be coincidence. This happens regardless of if I am playing some game like IL2 or non at all.
While in TrackIR 5. I get no error messages.
I am using the latest software 5.1.3 and Windows 7
I use the TrackClip.
I have check the reflectors, they seem very bright to me.
For unpredictable times the green light on the eye goes off. The The four IR RED lights in the camera are showing but very dimly but I think that is normal.
When I have the TrackIR window up so that I can see the graph of a sphere moving with my head movements and the three heads for left, top, front. Above that is the little window titled 'Camera'. When things are working the green light on the eye is on and I can see the three green dots in that window move as I move my head.
I am about 4 feet from the eye.
There is no back light causing trouble.
When things go wrong the green light flashes a lot and then goes out or just goes out. When that happens of course all tracking stops. But if I shake my head or reach up and move my cap around or move in closer the green light on the eye will show back up shortly.
I have also messed around with setting and just how I have the clip on my hat. Nothing makes TrackIR work consistently now.
Can the eye go bad?
