I don't understand the answer to this question.
This question is about using the TrackIR camera hardware for FreeTrack instead of using a webcam.
Sorry, I didn't think anyone would waste money on a TrackIR
camera with Freetrack allowing the use of cheap webcams. I guess I assumed hexify was asking the same
hardware I was, about the clip I mentioned below

Can the TrackClip Pro, active 3 LED setup work with Freetrack?

Yes, even though it's the most expensive 3 LED illuminator on the market. http://geocities.com/falstar2012/
Expensive, but not very expensive and doesn't require any assembly, soldering or calculations for us that aren't as technically inclined. Also, here in the US, the wide angle LEDs are not easy or cheap to come by. If I can use the narrow angle LEDs, making my own would be no problem, but as I pointed out in another post, one place that has the Osram/Sylvania LEDs tacks on a $15 handling charge for even an minimum number of 5 LEDs, bringing the total to $20, half the price of the Trackclip Pro, add in the sunglass clip, perf board, USB cable, etc., it no longer is a cheap build.
My biggest concern is that the Trackclip Pro doesn't have the LEDs lined up completely vertical. The middle one is off-center. Will this be a problem in Freetrack setup? If so, what needs to be done as a work-around?
BTW, that link was nice. I looked around for something like that earlier and didn't find it. Maybe we can make a sticky in the English section for all building projects/ideas, including that one made from a Cateye bicycle light.
