    👋 Introduction

    Hi! I'm Lukáš from Hardware Cave and I'll show you how to get the most out of your new SlimeVR trackers.
    📖 Official documentation: https://docs.slimevr.dev/quick-setup

    💻 Getting Started – Software Download

    The first thing you'll need is the SlimeVR Server.
    You can find it on the official website: https://slimevr.dev/download

    🔌 Connecting Trackers to WiFi

    • Turn on the tracker and connect it via USB cable.
    • The SlimeVR Server will prompt you to enter your 2.4GHz WiFi credentials.
      WiFi setup
    • After connecting the first tracker, you can leave it on, unplug the USB cable, and connect the next tracker the same way.
      Connecting tracker
    • Once all trackers are connected, turn them off – this ensures the best conditions for gyroscope stabilization.
      Tracker connected

    In case of issues with tracker detection in SlimeVR server, you may need to install the CP210x drivers for the module.

    🔄 Sensor Stabilization

    The trackers use firmware with dynamic calibration. Initial gyroscope stabilization is crucial for proper function:

    1. Place the trackers on a stable surface
    2. Turn them on and leave them still for 30 seconds for sensor stabilization

    📍 Correct Tracker Placement

    Pay attention to the correct placement and orientation of the trackers:

    Assigning body parts Mounting
    • Wear trackers on the front; ankle trackers should be at roughly a 45° angle
    • Follow the instructions in the server during mounting
    • Arrow on the tracker = always points to the ceiling
    • Correct assignment ensures accurate tracking

    🎯 Calibration in SlimeVR Server

    Mounting Calibration

    Use the two-step automatic calibration:

    1. Stand upright and confirm the position
    2. Assume the "skier going downhill" position and confirm

    Body Proportions

    • Start with automatic proportions
    • Good setup:
      • No yaw reset needed when changing positions
      • Legs do not cross when sitting
    • Fine-tune manually as needed
    Manual proportions

    💡 Pro Tip

    After about 10 minutes of use, the trackers warm up to operating temperature. For maximum measurement accuracy, I recommend placing the trackers on a stable surface again for 30 seconds for recalibration at this point.
