It’s now December and I still haven’t used them very much personally. I wrote about the part selection at the time but I never explained how to put firmware on the trackers. SlimeVR is written with the ESP32 family of microcontrollers in mind. I chose a board with the very capable ESP32-S3 for my build. There are always slight variations across different microcontrollers, even with similar names, and even from the same vendor. https://robr.dev/2024/slime-vr-diy/ Sun, 16 Jun 2024 18:01:43 -0700 https://robr.dev/2024/slime-vr-diy/ These are my new VR trackers. This DIY build of SlimeVR trackers can be assembled with (maybe*) no soldering. If you’re like me and want to put together your own set of SlimeVR trackers, I’ll tell you about the parts I selected and show you my case design. Parts My part selection uses fewer parts than some others I’ve seen. The Adafruit feather microcontroller (MCU) boards often include a LiPo charger and “fuel gauge” IC.
