The Flysck2+ is a wireless input device for all ART infrared
opcal tracking systems using passive markers inside two
detachable compartments protected by cone-shaped
enclosures. It offers a vibraon motor for inducing feedback
paerns and a beep funcon.

Quick-Guide Flysck2+
Safety advice:
aDo not use non-rechargable baeries.
aRemove baeries before shipping Flysck2+.
aUse delivered or rechargeable baeries NiMH 1,2V.
aInsert the rechargeable baeries into the baery
compartment in the indicated polarity.
RadioTransceiver
The RadioTransceiver3 is used for radio communicaon with
interacon devices such as Flysck2+.
Plug-in the Radio-
Transceiver3 to any free USB port of the controller, then press
F2 in order to search for new hardware. Configuraon is done
automacally. Range with line of sight is more than 7m but
can be reduced when the signal penetrates material, e.g.
projecon screens.
During operaon, do not unplug the USB radio transceiver!

manually please refer to the DTRACK3 User's Guide .

Make sure that your Flysck2+ is listed under 'available
Flyscks' - validate the serial number listed here to the one
from your device.
Flysck2+ configuraon
Detach the upper marker compartment of the Flysck2+ to
gain access to the serial number. Now assign your Flysck2+
to a Flysck ID:
Open 'Tracking'→'Flysck' to manage the number of Flyscks
(max. 20) and to configure the corresponding sengs to be
used. Increase the number of Flyscks by 1 or use the numeric
up down buon. The corresponding entries in the list of
selected Flyscks will show up.

and open 'Tracking' →'Body calibraon'. There select the
body 'Flysck body 01' for calibraon. Define the orien-taon
of the body coordinate system relave to the body (default:
due to body). Remove all disturbing reflecons and place the
Flysck2+ within the tracking volume. Press 'Calibrate' and
the calibraon will start within 5 seconds.
Confirm the results, press 'OK' and exit the dialog.

Tick the checkbox 'acvate feedback' in the lower le corner of
the dialog to acvate the feature globally on all Flysck devices
providing feedback funconality. Mark the respecve Flysck
ID (e.g. 'F1') under selected Flyscks by le-clicking and press
the buon 'Test' to send a series of feedback commands to test
beep and vibraon of the Flysck2+.
DTRACK3 is able to receive control data from 3rd party
applicaons via ethernet (UDP) to address the feedback and
acousc (beep) funcon. Six vibraonal paerns are
supported. Please refer to the DTRACK3 Programmer's Guide
→ Input of Control Data via Ethernet.
This funcon is only available aer assignment of at least one
Flysck2+ device to a corresponding Flysck ID.

(if more than one Flysck is used):
The MulUser opon is an enhancement especially for VR/AR
applicaons when working with more than one Flysck2+ . Tick
the checkbox 'acvate MulUser funcon'. Please refer to the
DTRACK3 Programmer's Guide → Output of Measurement
Data via Ethernet for more details.
In order to use a Flysck2+ and a head target as data pair ck
the checkbox 'use head targets' as well. Up to ten users can be
equipped with a Flysck2+ and a head target (usually mounted
on glasses). DTRACK3 is able to track them all but only the data
pair (Flysck2+ and one designated head target) of one user is
available as output data. Switching between the single users
can be done by pressing one of the Flysck2+ buons.
