TIR and heat.

Post by Fish »

The legs got broken off on my TIR4, so i have a large enough bezel area, and i using 2 sided tape, stuck it upsidedown on it. Also fixed the lead so it cant pull. So very stable, and accurate. Generally works great, but some times it gets a little jittery. Im not sure this happened with the old setup, but never noticed it. Light is not the problem, as it occurs when in pretty much total darkness.

I noticed that the bezel of the monitor does run hot, and so does the TIR, even though there about 3mm of insulation between both. Its not hot enough to burn, but quite hot to the touch

Is temperature likely to affect how it works, and how hot would it have to be.

Thanks

It is ok if the TrackIR is warm, that will be within the tolerance it is designed to run with.

As for erratic tracking, when this occurs, has it been over a given period of time?

Could the monitor itself be vibrating?
