cameras get confused by many LEDs

[mspusch]

version 2.17 is a recent version and you should be able to track up to 8 LEDs. in the interface on the left side, simply change the number of LEDs the PPT searches for from 1 to 8, depending on how many you need.

the positions of the LEDs that the PPT finds will be sent out over serial/VRPN or your own interface if you interface directly over the PPT API.

now, in whatever program you use, you can take the x,y,z coordinates that the PPT delivers and do with it whatever you want.

if you use Vizard, you can use a logic just like the one that's on top of this thread to extrapolate information.

if you work with Vizard and need a code example of how to use a certain distance between markers to extrapolate their identities, please post this request on the Vizard part of this forum.
