Can someone give me a simple drawing with measurements that will give one 6DOF, or a simple tutorial. I plan on purchasing wired single LED's at an electronics store and running them together without having to solder, etc... I get close to getting 6DOF but have not been able to figure it out. Thank you for your help, Aaron

You'll see the default distances between LEDs on the right side of the window - it would be best to use something close to these dimensions. But don't worry if your model's scale is a bit off - you can always change dimensions in the software after building your rig. As for how this setup might look - your imagination is the only limit But be sure to check the model gallery tread (both in English and French sections) for some examples: http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=466 http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=2 Edited by Deimos on 26/05/2008 at 00h44.
