How to setup Nolo and what I should expect from it #35

Open MagicRB opened 4 years ago

MagicRB commented 4 years ago

I have been trying to get NoloVR working, so far no luck, I have figured out that if I connect via USB the thing that goes on my head, openhmd segfaults, so I might be doing something wrong inside my config file. I used the default one, for separate HMD and tracking. How did you get it working, I've seen a pic of it working somewhere.

I would recommend first trying to get the HMD + nolo working with OpenHMD alone before trying it with SteamVR.

OpenHMD's simple example takes an enumerated device index as argument so if you get tracking data from all the different devices with ./simple 0, ./simple 1, etc. then you know at least that works.

The config file is a really rudimentary hack I only did because OpenHMD is lacking any configuration so far... If you run openhmd's simple example and immediately quit it with ctrl+c, you'll see a list of devices at the top, each enumerated with device 0: ..., device 1, ... (the numbers can even change when some additional VR hardware supported by openhmd is connected). I believe usually if you have a HMD and Nolo, the HMD should have 0, and the Nolo Tracker 1.

The last time I tried DK2 + Nolo was a long time ago. I don't see a reason why SteamVR-OpenHMD wouldn't work with it anymore, but I haven't tested it lately...

I did manage to get it working even in SteamVR but the tracking was all borked, it did not track properly at all
