Hello,

I want to use my phones USB charger for my tracking system. Is it possible?

I found the correct LEDs in a shop (here in Germany).

Which Resistor (and how many) do I have to use?

I don't know much about this stuff, so I'm very thankful for help.

Hi Cherusker,
just to a look at this and you find your answers.The ptc Fuse is not necessary.Thats just something you can built in if you use usb-port of your motherboard and protect against short circuit.

I have finally build my three point clip device, but I think it is to uncomfortable to wear with my headset. Is there a possible way to wear it horizontally on the top of the headset? Freetrack is just spazzing out when I do that.

I think it should be possible, but you have to place the leds like a cap model on you headset.One led left, on led on the right an one in the middle on top of your headset.But...... you need to change the dimension of your model at the dimensions tab.And select ofcourse the cap model and not the clip model.

At the homepage of freetrack you see someone who has it.

Maybe that is more comfortable to use

Thank you for your reply, but I was asking, because I've already build it like a clip model and don't want to destroy it.
