INSTRUCTIONS TO USE TRACKPAD TUNING FEATURE . (1) UPDATE DEVICE FIRMWARE New controller firmware: 1.3.9.stable.0
- Run the eteeConnect app.
- Navigate to: "eteeConnect > Options".
- Under "Update > eteeControllers Firmware", click on the drop-down menu and select version: 1.3.9.stable.0. Click "Update".
- Follow the instructions to update controllers firmware.
- To check if the firmware was updated successfully, navigate again to "Options > Update > eteeControllers Firmware" and click on the refresh icon. Your version should have changed to 1.3.9.stable.0.
(2)TUNE THE DEADZONE New eteeConnect version: 2.14.0
- Make sure you have updated your eteeConnect application to 2.14.0. You can check your current version under: "eteeConnect > Options > Update > eteeConnect Version".
- In eteeConnect, navigate to: "eteeConnect > Bindings".
- Triple-click the etee power button to change to the desired profile (either A or B). Note: To easily identify profiles, we recommend changing the LED color for each profile.
- Enter a desired profile (either A or B) by clicking on the "Edit Profile" button.
- On the top-right menu, navigate to "eteeTrackpad > DeadZone". You can use this to tune the deadzone range.
NEW CONTROLLER INTERACTIONS WITH NEW FIRMWARE If you decide to flash the beta firmware (v.1.3.9.stable.0), some interactions might change:
- The trackpad will behave like a physical joystick. For best results, first place the thumb at the center of the trackpad and then move it to where you want the X-Y to be. If you first press the edge of the trackpad, this would be filtered out.
- For games such as VRChat, some actions were binded to tap on the trackpad East or West DPAD coordinates (i.e. snap turn). Now, instead of touching those edges directly, you will need to swipe to snap turn left/right.
etee driver for SteamVR
New version available: eteeDriver - 1.4.4
- etee Custom driver VRChat hand offset pose update
- The hand offset pose has been updated. The hand model offsets have been improved, and the skeleton aligns with models from Index controllers. This fixes issues such as unusual elbow behaviour when rotating your hands. This provides a better user experience and improved skeleton behaviour in VRChat.
- Since the teleport gesture follows the virtual hand, we suggest turning your hand 90 degrees when selecting the direction.
- VRChat binding improvement
- Improving user experience with menu selections, by allowing you to select items by opening-closing your index finger.
- Removed input from LED buttons to avoid misstriggers
- There is a VRChat bug, which disallows some third-party controllers to access the radial menu (aka action menu). To fix this issue: enter “Quick menu setting > Controller > Index controller” and make sure the index click has the action menu selected. Otherwise the action menu and quick menu cannot be triggered properly. Unfortunately, this is a layer from VRChat that we cannot change in the etee system.
REMEMBER Please, remember to activate the new "Official Bindings" appropriate for your etee tracking system.
