TrackIR5 stopped detecting IR inputs
Posted: Sat Aug 23, 2025 6:34 am
Hey lads,
I've been running my TrackIR5 setup for over a year and a half with no issues. Came on today to fly a bit, but it seems my TrackIR camera has stopped detecting IR inputs. I've tried the usual troubleshooting of reinstalling the software, changing USB hubs, and rebooting.
The reason why I think it's camera-related is that when I switch to the camera view, which supposedly detects IR signatures, pointing it outside of the window produces no IR signatures either.
Did any of you get a similar issue? Any tips on how to proceed?
