Update 2/7/23:
Hey all, this video is REALLY outdated. Please join the slimeVR Discord for updated info and instructions.
Slime VR is still in development, so things WILL change. I plan to make an updated version of this video sometime in the future.
Check out the SlimeVR Discord!
/ discord
And Github!
github.com/SlimeVR
EDIT! (thanks to Eiren for pointing this out!)
-You don't have to comment out "while(!Serial)"
-When I refer to BNO08X it's just BNO085
-Sensor rotation is in defines.h

Well got an awesome recommendation for once! Looking real good! Have a cart with all the components waiting for your next video with the Slime server! If it is good, well then it's a send! Really like the step by step explanation. Easy to follow! Might buy before just to play around with aswell... Looked fun and quite the inexpensive project! You got yourself another sub! 😁

@hadamana 3 года назад

I have been waiting for these for quite a while! I have been using a Kinect One, but since I switched to Virtual Desktop on a Quest 2, I have had significant issues remembering to maintain my orientation with the device. I can't go more than about 30 seconds without turning my VRChat avatar into a corkscrew! High hopes that I will be able to acquire these parts and build a set for myself =D

@lawnmowerlarry9139 2 года назад

I have a soldering kit from my dad that's been lying in a shed for 4 years, recently got myself a quest 2, this looks like a great project to bust out the kit and try to learn how to make something! edit: 5+3 set finished, tested and I just fried 2 of them. Don't use 18650 batteries if your brain is too smooth to match the big red plus with the other big red plus all in all, slimevr is pretty great. In the 5 hours or so that I had unfried FBT it was a blast and it was super fun building them, highly recommend giving it a shot.

@nikola71H1 2 года назад

Hi. Do you need to upload a new firmware every time you change your network?

@tishaandmegan Год назад

Just a note for those that order the SlimeVR DIY kit. The firmware is already installed. So do your assembly and make your cases and you should be good to go.

@thewanderer1038 2 года назад

dude if you can add vibration motors you can make like a mini haptics just to get a general feel of where your getting touched

@BunkerSquirrel 2 года назад

The BNO08x IMUs are a pain to find right now without the carrier PCB. I wonder if Slime VR actually caused a shortage?? haha! I'm going to try to build this as you've done as a prototype but I'd also like to try my hand at making a custom PCB for the HW for a second revision. Swapping the IMUs out for some MPU6050s for the time being but I'm gonna wait for the BNOs to come back in stock before I go through the process of developing a custom PCB.

@sethbessinger2025 2 года назад

That’s cool! Does the IMU drift after a while?

@Dayledabomb 2 года назад

Too bad the BNO080 modules are currently affected by the chip shortage. Might grab some MPUs and try it with those. Although, tracking quality might not be so nice.

@jonnyornot2478 2 года назад

From SlimeVR github: MPU-9250 Using Mahony sensor fusion of Gyroscope, Magnetometer and Accelerometer, requires good magnetic environment. NOTE: Currently can't be calibrated due to lack of proper commands from the server. Work in progress. Can be ran as MPU-6050 below w/o magnetometer.

@adicsbtw 3 года назад

I am really tempted to build this, but I want to wait for some reviews before I put in the time investment to make 5 trackers, especially when the SlimeVR server isn't even out yet for proper FBT. Until then I guess I will just be left with Kinect full body and my janky and barely functional code to force it to work with Shadow.

If you mean like a VR treadmill, I assume so? I know with natural locomotion and the slime vr server running it crashes steam VR, at least from what I've seen on the forums, but I swore I read somewhere they're working on that. Obviously natural locomotion and VR treadmills are different but that's the only software example i can think of thats been tested

Fast forward 6 months, and the BNO080 are at 60 bucks a pop. I hate supply and demand

Probably too late, but for people from the future who see this comment, use a MPU9250 instead, it is way cheaper and should work about as well.
