Basic usb commands for TrackIR 4

Post by davidw »

I would like to develop a mini driver for TrackIR 4 in linux.

By mini I mean:
  • set it up
  • get an image (using it like a normal, but very fast, webcam)
  • maybe use the built in points-filter
I have read some other posts on the matter. NaturalPoint claims that they will not release a specification for developing drivers for linux.

My question is if I can get small unofficial "specification" for getting started. E.g starting up the connection with the TrackIR and some other basic usb commands.

Thank You and Best Regards,
--David

The TrackIR can't be used as a normal webcam......

Generally,some of that information would be contained in the TrackIR SDK, which is not freely available.

The Opti Track SDK is freely available - Which can also be used with the TrackIR hardware
