Post by: zbblanton on February 12, 2008, 07:01:53 PM
Ultra big thnx to: cyberpyrot if it wasnt for him i would have never of found this. thnx dude for putting up with me i ask ALOT of question.
All you need is two ball mice that have phototransistors in them and a really good ir led
I only used one axis just to prove it works
Here is the pinout for it: (https://acidmods.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi180.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fx218%2Fzbblanton%2Fheadtracking56.jpg&hash=b57b05eb3d5cc111d129614fadff09ae0759c3fd)

you could buy an infra red torch and rip the led out of that but it may be too powerful

ok there is a very big problem with this right now, the wavelength on the phototransistors on the mice isnt very long at all. So u need a very good ir led if a good ir array for it to work. but, i am working on fix this so hopefully this will be easyier soon.
