Hi,

Most of you are aware that a TRACKIR clip exist which is really well made. Actually, what I am talking about is not what lies inside but the casing. As any of you tried to produce a casing that is similar to what naturalpoint produced? If so, could you be kind enough to list the components you used?

Thanks

Very interesting design! Especially that you had something in your garden that you could use which sort of came close to the real thing!  :D

I was wondering, been trying to get a real size picture of the trackIR clip pro but without success.. Would you mind telling me where you found yours??

thanks

Got another question for you.. I assume you built your device from an old USB cable. Did you use a PTC fuse in your design to prevent any problems that could fry your motherboard??

I noticed some USB cables got some "cylinders" on them. I am not sure but could this be some sort of protection against any problems that could fry the motherboard?? I'll try to get some pictures later on..

I've found a picture and add a layer of grid over it, so it comes close to what I found in the Freetrack manual.

In my build I didn't use a fuse (maybe I modify it later and add a PTC fuse).
To be sure I don't fry my motherboard (at this moment) I use an USB adaptor for the 5v.

The cylinders on the USB cable are for interference-protection of the USB-signal, I use only the 5v wires. It has nothing to do with protection of your motherboard.
