Head turn to the right = flipout.

[quote=NaturalPoint - Vincent]TrackIR camera moved to the left side of the monitor?

Can you center the TrackCLip pro, in the camera view a little more?

[/quote]

Camera is located to the left of the middle of the monitor.
Not completely to the left though.
If i try to move it to the left more the problem seems to get more severe.

The Track Clip pro is almost dead center in the camera view.

Though, i did move the TrackClip pro to a lower position on my headset and this improvement things quite a bit.

Though, i still get the flipping when moving the camera past about 150DEG to the right and 130DEG upwards.

(when i test whit the normal track clip all is fine, could it be some kind of software issue?)

Just to chime in here as well. My issue is stil NOT resolved. I'm running out of ideas.

[VincentG]

Do you have the TrackIR camera plugged into the TCP as well?

[TVGi]

Yes, they are connected via USB and then connected into my computer.

[VincentG]

Try splitting the 2 items, and using 2 different USB ports.

Hmm, just ran across this problem myself. Not sure why it's doing it now all of a sudden. When I move to the right the head track flips out, but the dots on the camera view are all still tracking smoothly and not out of range.

Did you guys ever figure this one out?

I'm sorry to resurrect this thread, but I have just received my TrackIR 5 and Trackclip PRO on 06.15.2011 and I have been having great trouble with this very same issue.

I have tried troubleshooting suggestions from this thread including: using separate USB connections, reinstalling the software/drivers, dark room(even the monitor as dark as it could get), *painstakingly* realigning the camera and TCP, nothing has resolved this issue for me.

Again, looking left is perfect, yawing to the right, however, my view begins to "convulse" when I exceed aprox. -42 degrees(raw data).

Hello!

If you switch your display to camera view, does that point line up with either two dots merging, at least one turning red, or at least one disappearing?

[WingmanSR]

Hello Mike,

When the problem with yaw-right occurs, the 3 dots being tracked from my Trackclip PRO are perfectly formed, and create an almost-perfect right-triangle. No dots merge, nor are any dots lost from tracking; whether that be from turning red or completely disappearing from the camera view.

I fully understand your need to eliminate the simple possibility of the dreaded ID-10-T user error but I have made every attempt to reduce the chance of that occurrence.

Is it possible that the geometry created by the IR LEDs, i.e. a right-triangle, causes some sort of mathematical 'feedback loop' within the tracking software's relative-position calculations? Mainly, I ask this out of curiosity, as it seems the interpreted head position seems to 'spaz out' more as the three dots being tracked get closer and closer to a perfect right triangle. (Pythagoras be damned! )

Regardless of my own theories, I'm completely open to more troubleshooting measures to eliminate simpler, more concrete possibilities first and foremost.

Isosceles and equilateral triangles can cause issues, but right triangles should be just fine. Could you maybe record a screen capture video of this happening?
