I uploaded this on my 'community' page a while ago but for some reason CZcams gives no exposure to those posts when they include a video, and sure enough this only gained a miserable 5 views in 9 days, and I think two of them were mine. So even though the content is not properly explained yet, the lack of attention is leading me to set it as a normal video to get some more dopamine from views. ...

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 12 dny

      Yeah I'm using my air controller for DCS, XPlane and Arma3, it works great but still need to reach for the keyboard sometimes. The setup procedure for those is pretty similar as what I showed in this video (just use iBus inputs instead of PWM) so I didn't bother covering it this time, but I did make a video years ago that you might find interesting. czcams.com/video/1HOykcWysjM/video.html That was not iomixer though, so the program needed to be recompiled every time I made a change, and other features like wireless head-tracking would take a lot of work to set up. Hmmm.... I actually haven't tried head-tracking in the flight sims yet, will have to do that sometime....

    • @AndreTheEntree
      @AndreTheEntree Před 11 dny

      @@iforce2d It definitely would be an immersion boost. Don't worry about having to reach for the keyboard I've got some actual controls and still have to reach. Forgive me if I'm forgetting something but I would suggest trying to tie that head tracking into a camera that rotates on your actual RC planes. I bet that would be an experience.

    Some “expert” on Reddit told me that they only have 300m of range and I am intending to fly high speed jets on this thing. I don’t think I’ll need 5km, but I definitely need half that. Should I be worried? Is there a way to extend the range? Is there a good non-spektrum radio that has 10ch and is as bulletproof as the i6x? New to the hobby.

  • @WizardTim
    @WizardTim Před 18 dny

    That's a pretty cool application for the iomixer, I've just been using an Xbox controller which has it's downsides. Do you think you'll develop this use case further, particularly around force feedback? Considering the iomixer's application is usually to control various motors I can see it being suited, but I think a lot of DIY wheels use FOC BLDC motors which might be a bit much for iomixer? However I can mention I have played around with DIY head tracking, I first tried the same kinda dead reckoning integration yaw control method as you and hated it, was difficult to control and made me nauseous. I switched to a BNO055 IMU, it gives precalculated absolute Euler vectors so worked great for yaw and always returned to center thanks to the magnetometer but you do have do a couple full rotations before it self calibrates but you can move your head really quickly and it tracks which helped me want to actually look around. I used that for a while but found I was still often slightly nauseous and/or straining myself to keep my head in awkward positions to both have the game camera in the right position but also still be able to see the monitor. Heavy use of the re-center key helped. I currently use (solely for BeamNG) an IMU in combination with OpenTrack and a retroreflective ArUco marker for full 6-DOF tracking with a HMD (pretty much poor man's Oculus Rift), really immersive but also super useful in cockpit view to just see around the A pillar and over the hood by just quickly moving your head. Couple downsides though, it's two separate tracking systems, no sensor fusion, and thus two systems that can drift out of sync and screw up the vector math so two separate re-center hotkeys that I regularly use. Also you can't look backwards or outside the tracking camera FOV as you lose translational tracking. And of course it takes like half an hour to setup and my rubbish code crashes after about an hour or two. Also experimented with stereo inside out tracking in OpenCV for room scale, but it's a massive time sink, was tethered and never got it working in game, but did give some nice high resolution larger than room scale tracking. *I haven't bought a room scale VR system because then I'd just play it all the time and never get anything done, this way I have to earn my gaming time.

    NICE! I just finished turning an Elliptical exercise thing into a game controller.... It's SO amazing to walk, jog, run in STALKER. Makes gaming SO much more immersive and fun! STALKER has only digital inputs so it was a simple first game, with no quick travels. I think next game will have to have an analog in so i can walk the same speed as my character. I don't think i will do head tracking tho. I bob around too much and i just have a thumb stick at the top of one of the arm things that allow u to do the look when u need to. (DON"T BUY CHEEP ANALOG THUMB STICKS) lolz.

  • @AerialWaviator

    Following along with interest ............ a bit off-topic but curious where you buy your NRF transceivers. Most I end up with are short on range, even with suggested fixes. Price seems irrelevant as some charge what they want for most clone regardless of quality.

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 19 dny

      Usually AliExpress these days. The ones I'm using in this video are quite short range. Maybe 30 meters in open air if you're lucky, or through one interior wall (no brick or dense cladding). So basically they are only useful within the same room. For the 'long range' version you want the one with a metal can on it, they typically go by the name of "E01-ML01DP5". For those, it can sometimes help to have a 10uf cap across the GND/VCC but I have just as many where it seems to make no difference. The iomixer has a 10uf cap near those pins anyway. For the long range models the antenna quality comes into play.

    • @iforce2d
      @iforce2d Před 20 dny

      Yeah, the average gamepad doesn't feel very precise and often has a huge deadzone in the middle, not to mention the unnatural feeling of using a stick to steer a car. The iomixer has 37 inputs so it could be used to set up a nice 'simpit', but I'm not so serious about driving games that I'll be doing that... I think. The RC controller was an easy middle ground that works well enough for me.
