Great to see some interest
I can't tell for sure if it will work with ezuhf, but the PPM output is exactly the same as a FF9 transmitter.
By the way, the headtracker supports tilt, pan and roll - so it can also be used for controlling a plane, multirotor etc. instead of a camera. Should be great fun
so pretty much you could make a parrot ar drone but with great range and no video lag.
very tempting.
how about throttle though?

elf, you could probably set the throttle to 50% on a plane and forget about it.
How does this device output PPM? I have my dx8 which is a direct connection (via trainer port) to my dragon link. Would this device be put in between the radio and UHF?
At the moment it have to be connected to a transmitter that supports trainer-input. PPM in, PPM channel expansion etc. was originally a part of the project, but as I have been pretty busy lately I decided to focus on the headtracker. The code for PPM in, 1-12 channel PPM out etc. is already done and included - but it have to be fine-tuned a bit. It works just fine running alone, but with the headtracker running the interrupt-timing results in a bit unstable PPM-in readings. Probably an easy fix but just haven't been done. I have quite a few other projects and I don't think I'll finish the extra PPM-features.
I was lucky to be the first tester and i can tel you guys, i don't think you can find a better HT anywhere in the world to day, it don't drift period.
I have being flying a thermal flight with my Easy Glider on nearly 1 1/2 hour with absolutely no drift, several flights more then 1 hour, no drift just steady working like we all want a HT to do.
Reset it before take off, fly, and don't think more about it.

Year - you got the honor to be the guinea pig, and find all the bugs
Luckily it have only been "cosmetic things" and optimisation of user-interface etc. that needed a little fine-adjustment.
I'm glad you still use it, and haven't changed back to your old headtrackers!
I wil newer look back, the old one was allvayes drifting, so you alvayes needed to pay attention to it to not fool me into a crash, now i can just fly and not pay attention to HT anny more.Originally Posted by DennisFrie

Been waiting almost a month for my parts to arrive.... A lot of good feedback so far(makes the wait even worse...), can't wait!!.
Thanks again for this great product, it's people like you, Alex etc that make this hobby so enjoyable.
Sentry: Welcome to the Lab!.
chicken sashimi : my T-Shirts are all 100% guaranteed to get you laid.
Roberto: you're a legend Kev.
Alex: I don't usually troll, but this was irresistible...
ssassen: I bow humbly before kev.au's greatness.
Danub: Sir I humbly bow down to your tree bashing abilities!!.
MonZon: Damn, Kev you are gooooood!.
R. Montiel : For sure the limiting factor is the earth curvature
Dennis, cool project, will definitely build one. A question I got not answered so far: Is it possible to disable a unused axis? I have only pan on my planes and don't want to have tilt and roll injected into the PPM signal.
This is very cool, parts ordered!
I've actually never used a headtracker and just now got my Foxtech AIO googles but I guess I'll build this one and compare. If nothing else I can always equip my older Fatshark aviation goggles with this.
