Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	Hello Everyone, I am new to this and the site over the past week. I am making a 3 point hat setup and looking to make a 3 point headphone setup for my sennheiser 558's. I am using the diagram below for the hat setup plugging into a usb wall socket. I ordered my LED's yesterday and they should be here tomorrow. I went to the local Radio shack and picked up the 10-ohm 1/2 watt carbon film resistors for it. My questions is why are some people using 2 of those resistors with this same hookup and some using 1, then i saw some people using 3 resistors using this setup as well unless I was misunderstood. So far i have my hat setup complete and only awaiting my LED's. I have 1 resistor as shown in the diagram below so i hope its enough Now, for the 3 point setup for my headphones I picked up a 2 x AA battery holder and i forgot to pick up resistors as shown in the below diagram. I saw posts of people using different resistors other than what is shown, can i just use the resistors I have already above or should i just go spend the couple dollars and pickup the ones posted? Thanks in advance for all the feedback. Edited by onyxius on 24/10/2013 at 20h05.

I prefer the usb-powersource.With usb(5volts) you never have problems with empty batteries. I use a usb-backup battery.Iam not attached to wires this way.Never use a usb-port of you computer.If something goes wrong with connections you made, you can damage your motherboard.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	Awesome, thank you, yea i like to stick with what works and i'll be plugging it into a usb power outlet not motherboard :). I should get my LED's in today and then I also plan on making the side clip setup. Is there a difference between using the hat and side clip? Is one better over the other? The only thing i'm not looking forward to is the configuration as it seems like a lot of configuring and 1 little knotch left or right is going to throw the whole thing off :D. Also, my camera is a tad out of focus as i may have touched the lense when taking out the IR filter in my logitech 9000 cam. I hope that little out of focus isnt going to hurt. It doesnt seem like its going to as it picks up a remote ir led pretty darn good. I'm pretty excited to get this put together today and hopefully i can get it configured too. I'm using windows 8.1 64 bit, so hopefully that isnt to new Has anyone tried using this with Battlefield 4? Edited by onyxius on 25/10/2013 at 16h40.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	yea i dont think so either, they need it though as flying a chopper without being able to look out the windows is a pain when trying to zig zag around sky scrapers. Well i just got my LED's in time to do some tinkering and configuring.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	WOHOOo first try it works i just had to change a few things, now, i'm trying to find the part that lets me set how much it moves with my head movement, as right now i turn just a little bit it turns just a little bit, i need it to turn more than what i'm turning. Any ideas? lol or is that in game, gonna primarily set this up for arma 2 and 3. Sorry guess i should read the manual huh http://www.free-track.net/fichiers/manuel21en.pdf Edited by onyxius on 25/10/2013 at 20h32.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	Ok i have a problem here. So every time i want to use this i have to go to taskbar or use hotkeys to start the freetrack tracking. When i do so it auto opens my logitch quickam pro 9000 progam and resets everything to 0. That means every time i want to play a game i'm going to have to sit here and adjust my stupid settings every darn time?? Doesnt sound fun, i hate this logitech cam software.

Then I have my sensitivity for those 3 set to 0.4 with smoothing at 1. This seems to be ok for the most part but i feel like i could do better. When looking left and right for instance, and stop, the view auto jitters left or right sometimes a little somtetimes a lot. Not sure what else to look at for changing though.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	so this is quite interesting, i took the film off my cam to try out the flpy disk and my cam picks up my led's just fine without the filter, here are my current settings which is causint jitter.

Make sure your model dimensions and positions are well set up: Fill in your own measurements. Try out these settings to start with: Curves with deathzones: Edited by Steph on 26/10/2013 at 21h48.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	WOW ty that is sooo much better, now i just need to turn the sensitivy down some its a little too sensitive. So do i just turn the sensitivity down and smoothing or just the sensitivity? Also i cant turn the threshold to the right much at all or my top dot will vanish while the 2 bottom ones are still big.

Class : Moderator Posts : 656 Registered on : 16/11/2007 Off line	Just decrease the sensitivity in the profil-settings.

Class : Apprenti Posts : 21 Registered on : 22/10/2013 Off line	Thanks guys, able to tweek this much better. Question, is the hat better to use as the 3 points or the side clip you would attack to headphones?
