Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had so many mixed results with the old way of doing it I gave up. Can't wait to give this a go. Still baffled why no companies aren't making rc headtrackers.
@@matthew04101 I bought my first one 10 years ago about. Can't believe the fall of the art. Flytron doesn't even sell his anymore. Can't wait for more options, but this solution in this video sounds AWESOME. Kuddos to Painless and the guy who heads this project
@@luciduous are you talking about the wireless solution, from head tracker to radio ? that sounds nice, but i'm worry about latency. servo is already slow and adding wireless latency might make things worse. i guess it should be ok for rc plane and cars. i'm planning on using it with quadcopter, so latency is very critacal.
Fantastic. Those kids that we complained about spending all their time in front of a computer are just killing it now! I noticed on the github link they also have a link for a wireless PWM module for the transmitter connection. (personally, the section for a TX16s is a gift!). These hobbyist single board computers have allowed us to programmatically interact with the physical world, e.g. head tracker. The 33 BLE Sense, in addition to the 9-axis IMU have pressure and temperature. All one needs to do a DIY flight controller is one was crazy enough to do it. (Going to be hard to beat Matek!)
Thank you mate. You kinda just accidentally helped me out with another project. I have been wanting to put an artificial horizon and compass on 2.5" displays in the cockpit of my 1/4 scale 20cc affordaplane but put it on hold because the form factor was just too large. The 33 BLE seems to be the way to go. Thanks! PS, I'm still using Fatshark/Trinity.
Nice little project. Thanks for sharing these DYI resources. A quick easy case would be to use some larger diameter heat shrink tubing. Could warp PCB in a piece of thin cardboard to square off profile before adding the heatsink.
Ordered the parts half way through the video. :)) I wanted to re-use my Trinity HT for the DJI goggles but that would have been much more complicated than this.
I am building a Bogie bot chassis with a head tracker paintball gun. This is great as I was just contemplating purchasing a ready to roll one. Being I am how I am I wanted to do my own instead!! So glad I subscribed to your channel!
@@Painless360 I am about learning new things, and I appreciate the details and ease of watching when it comes to your videos and I am always looking forward to your content
@@Painless360 Im having some issues with the case stl. there's a box assembly with a lid, and a 3rd part that holds the board-but that board holder is longer than the case assembly with its closed off ends, and not sure where the lid would go at all. I assume Im missing something here with the case assembly?
Awesome! Now after almost 2 years I wish there is a video for pnp or ready to use head tracker to use with spektrum NX series and dji goggle, would be great too if there known sellers out there. Unfortunately I am very bad with soldering. Thanks
I made this head tracker. Thanks a lot. Please make a little bit bigger case 3D printing model :). If the case has more room inside, it would be much easier to assemble.
Thank you for your help . excellent project. something stuck in my head. You suggested the cable 3.5mm Stereo PCB mounted jack. however, the cable looks two-way, not 3-way in the illustration on head treacker page. Which should be taken into account....
Brilliant...... built the old style way back when and had no problems with that. This is many times easier. Edit:- Looked up the price of the Arduino Nano 33BLE and at between AU$70 and AU$90, I think it will go on hold until some clone chips are produced. Present old Arduino pro mini unit cost me around $20.00 total and will do the job for now.
Would you say the Ardunino 33 BLE is still the best option for an inexpensive head tracker in 2024? By the way I just wanted to say that I do appreciate how responsive you have been to my questions in the past! I'm sure you get a lot them.
Nice one again Lee, works like a charm. Just a (very) little note about your 3d case: the top part seems to need support if loaded with the other parts. I cannot separate them in Cura to put it upside down. So I loaded them first in a cad program to do that.
@@Painless360 Yep, I should have Googled first of course.. ;-). Indeed very strange that Cura removed the feature in the later releases. Btw: you make a LOT of video's in a year ! haha
Great another HT project. Great job for all the people. Is there option to put the center button on the transmitter without any wires? I'm using full wireless HT with control on transmitter, this is must have for fpv pilots.
Hello, coming back to the firmware flashing issue. I was lucky to get hands on an old ble 33 board (rev1). WIth that board everything works just fine. I then also tried the ble 33 sense (rev2) board. This also works perfect. Turns out the rev 2 board without proximity sensor is problematic. Even with the latest pre release version (finding it on github was a project in itself) was not successful. However, I have two boards working, problem solved 🙂
I am definitely building this and can't wait to have it in a plane. I power my DJI goggles via a PD USB power bank which has spare USB A port. Possible tip, use the Newbeedrone PD goggle cable with any PD powerbank (I keep a Ravpower power bank in my pocket) just run a usb cable along with the goggle cable for power?
I can't help but wonder, with the invention of small 360 camera is the need for a motorized gimble is coming to an end. The Trick is in the processing, you can't send the entire 360 video stream over the air, there isn't enough bandwidth. So youll need to have the processing done on the camera end (aka in the Drone or plane) and only the footage from the viewing angle you want to see getting transmitted.
It is an interesting idea and something like that was in the excellent Parrot Disco. I hope we see cheaper options that would work with the FPV systems we use in the hobby..
Great video! I'm trying this now but I was just wondering what the external channel inputs (PPM *optional) is for? It's the purple part on the schematic. Looks like you connected that one too?
Hi, thanks for the nice video of this cool project...I already made mine with BLE Nano Sense board, I connected it with BT to my X10S and all the things inclusing proximity cetering is working good. The only problem I face is the jerky movement of the servos (feels like loose signal connection). I dont have this issue with same servos when I use the trinity head tracker on wire! any idea what the problem is?
Curious you mentioned Jumper and OpenTX. Does the protocol really matter? Based on your information I assume all you need is any radio that has PPM capability? Protocol is irrelevant. The bottom line is the pan/tilt are simply going to chew up 2 channels from your radio and that’s all. Am I correct? Thanks for making this video. I am seriously interested to do it considering the simplicity of this setup and low cost.
Thanks for this. I’ve built one but I’m really struggling to get it to communicate with the radio. To be honest I just don’t find Open TX particularly intuitive and I’m not patient enough to really get to grips with it. Any chance of a video with a step by step idiots guid on how to set this device up on the radio (i’m using tx16s)?
Hello - I also built one. thanks to your guide it wasn't difficult. function is also correct. unfortunately I constantly have a drift on Pan. At the beginning everything is in the middle, but if I make a few movements with PAN, the head tracker starts moving out of the middle. What am I doing wrong ?
Same been getting drift for weeks making it almost unbearable. Tried dialing in calibration on powered goggles with and without magnetometer. Making sure to take time to do it as perfectly as possible. Still getting drift
Hi...Mate best regards from Spain. Great job your´s congrats!!!!. One question about those track ir, can I use it as replacement of Standard TrackIr for Flight Simulation like Xplane, Flight simulator or Il2 1946, who are prepared to be used with Natural Point hardware?, thx a lot for your response. Nice to meet you.
Great job … did get mine working on the PC, but I have trouble to connect it to the Futaba T14SG with the teacher cable. Anything I have to consider especially? Do you know on what channel they are … do I need to consider a mix. Any help is appreciated
Thanx! Built it yesterday, works like a charm (after switching to a stereo cable, Radiomaster and Jumper obviously Do not like mono cables). One question: can you tell me how you attached it to the Goggles? Is there a mount to print?
Thank you for the super video again. When you want to mount it on the side of a goggle, like you did. Should you calibrate is on its side? I.e. in de the position you want to use it in?
Thanks for this! I was able to finish mine this week and it works great! Question though, is there anyway to increase the pan range? I have already increased it in the head tracker software
I love the video and I'm going to go out of my comfort zone and try to build this. I tried to get the 3D case file and it will not open . Is it possible for you to drop the link in here? Thanks again for your videos... Stay well
thank you for the video and links, i wander .. since i have the original ht from the project made like 8 years ago ..

Fantastic video, with great information. Just a quick question if I may. I do have a Taranis XD9. But I am wanting to put my FPV setup on a Spektrum DX7s. I have been searching for the Spektrum trainer port voltage output (3.3v?) with no luck. Can you tell me if the Spectrum DX7s is compatible without using resistors? Im sure there are other out there with the Spektrum with the same problem.
@@Painless360 Thank you very much Lee. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Fantastic channel with huge amounts of information. This channel got me through the Frsky nightmare....lol Easy when you know how.
I got lost on the wiring everything up part brother. Especially the power up plug and how it's soldered and powered. Im going with the wireless method but do i still have to add the button? I noticed the Nano has a reset button. Can that be used to reset? Sorry for all the questions but im a complete noob to the hobby. My apologies..
Hello! Do you know if the arduino nano 33 ble sens board also works? There are 3 models: ble, ble sens and ble iot, the "sens" is the most complete... but I can't find information about whether it works for the head tracker. Thank you and your videos are very good!
now add those 3 channels to your kwad and fly with only moving your head sounds to be a cool idea (and be a complete new fpv experiance ... grin) ... only throttle input by hand and rest is done with moving your head ... select an easy flight mode at the beginning (i would like to see vanny with such a google and only a throttle stick left hi hi)
turning do one of these at hobbyking for 30 dollars. couldn't an old flight controller be set up to use the gyros for this? thanks for the video. if I cant find my old turnigy nocking around in box somewhere i am going to use your suggestion.
Is it possible to catch the built in head tracking signals from the DJI googles? then just relay to servo/gymbal setup instead of using a seperate board to capute these signals?
Firstly, apologies for commenting on a 3 year old video! I have a question about head trackers and pan/tilt gimbals. I noticed on my first flight trialling this exact kit that when I'm banking left or right, the gimbal stays in its original position and doesn't move with the aircraft. Ideally it would need to stay orientated to the direction of travel unless I move my head to look around. Would you know how to resolve this? Cheers
That is how head trackers work, they only move when you move your head. What you are looking for is a gimbal. Check out CAMSTAB mode in things like Betaflight and INAV... Best of luck!
Hi not sure you will see this but just wanted to say thank you I'm going to look into doing this but just wanted to ask will I be able to use my turnigy 9xr or flysky fs-i6. Both have stock fw just encase this changes anything
Thank you very much for this project. I need an help for my setup: how do I connect a Futaba radio TJ8 with the head tracker? It seems that Futaba trainer port works with 3 wires not only two as the Arduino output. I would really appreciate your help on this.

Thank you Painless360. Could you make a video to show how to make it works in Futaba radios like T18sz please ?
If It get one of those radios, i will look into it..happy flying!
great video
Is it drift-free? How does it compare to the Quanum and Trinity? I have an old mig V5 trinity that drifts like crazy...
Seems to be performing well. Cheap enough to buy the parts and try... Happy flying
Drifts badly on pan axis
nice controller👍🏻
Thanks for sharing Lee.
Jeff
Awesome info. Thanks Lee 👍🏾
now add those 3 channels to your kwad and fly with only moving your head sounds to be a cool idea (and be a complete new fpv experiance ... grin) ... only throttle input by hand and rest is done with moving your head ... select an easy flight mode at the beginning (i would like to see vanny with such a google and only a throttle stick left hi hi)
Not sure about that but some have used project alike this to make a joystick that works by movement to fly the model... Happy flying
turning do one of these at hobbyking for 30 dollars. couldn't an old flight controller be set up to use the gyros for this? thanks for the video. if I cant find my old turnigy nocking around in box somewhere i am going to use your suggestion.
That would be a fun way to use old, outdated flight controllers. I'm not aware of a way to do that but if you find one, please let me know..
Is it possible to catch the built in head tracking signals from the DJI googles? then just relay to servo/gymbal setup instead of using a seperate board to capute these signals?
I'm not sure. Dji don't like to make stuff easy for hobbists to use their stuff in innovative ways... Happy flying
Excellent video Thank you for the great content!
Firstly, apologies for commenting on a 3 year old video!
I have a question about head trackers and pan/tilt gimbals.
I noticed on my first flight trialling this exact kit that when I'm banking left or right, the gimbal stays in its original position and doesn't move with the aircraft.
Ideally it would need to stay orientated to the direction of travel unless I move my head to look around.
Would you know how to resolve this?
Cheers
That is how head trackers work, they only move when you move your head. What you are looking for is a gimbal. Check out CAMSTAB mode in things like Betaflight and INAV... Best of luck!
Sir, why can’t we use the built-in head tracking capability in the DJI Goggles 2? Why do we need the Arduino BLE instead? Regards
I've not got the DJI 2 goggles here so probably not the best person to ask.. Best of luck
I am working in one right now is by any chance I can have the link for the 3-D printer files, thank you so much🙏
Tx for the video. Tx you so much!
Hi not sure you will see this but just wanted to say thank you
I'm going to look into doing this but just wanted to ask will I be able to use my turnigy 9xr or flysky fs-i6. Both have stock fw just encase this changes anything
Thank you very much for this project. I need an help for my setup: how do I connect a Futaba radio TJ8 with the head tracker? It seems that Futaba trainer port works with 3 wires not only two as the Arduino output. I would really appreciate your help on this.
Pins 2 and 6, I think - intofpv.com/t-hacking-trainer-plug-to-usb-for-sim
I don't use Futaba stuff here. Best of luck.
@@Painless360thank you. Will let u know
@@Painless360 I've finally get it solved!! Thank u for your precious support. Giampaolo
Great stuff. Any ideas about doing this with bluetooth to a jumper t18?
Videos coming... stay tuned!
@@Painless360 Awsome sauce! Thank you. Great stuff. 😎
Can a tbs mambo be used for this ?
Page 7 of the manual..... It's a headphone jack, not DSC... Happy flying
Exactly what I needed!!
