v1.0.0-alpha9

This is a rerelease of v1.0.0-alpha8 with important hotfixes. "Virtual feet trackers" settings have been removed until further notice.

The ninth alpha for the SlimeTora rewrite (v1.0.0-alpha9) is now out! This update the design of the main section, and fixes some major bugs!

Changelogs

• Fix major issue causing all but one tracker to send data to SlimeVR
  • I have no idea how this happened and why it only started happening recently.
• Fix multiple tracker bug with BT trackers
  • For unknown reasons, you could have way more trackers than what is actually connected, fixed with a haritorax-interpreter package update
• Fix mag status showing incorrect/unknown status
  • Sometimes when the program says the status is green, it's actually yellow
  • Should also fix "unknown" data being reported for valid mag statuses
• Update to "main" page
  • Add the SlimeTora logo
  • Make the version number a "subtitle" and smaller
  • Move the language select to this area
• Package updates

Known issues

• (?) GX tracker settings may be unreliable
  • This seems to be really random, unsure if there's something wrong with my testing, device, or if there's a random race condition.
  • Either way, would use HaritoraConfigurator instead if you do not need per-tracker settings.
• Restarting connections on GX does not work until a program restart (Bluetooth is fine)
• Bluetooth tracker's battery report stays on N/A until reported by trackers (instead of instantly grabbing them)
• Battery data sent to SlimeVR server isn't per-tracker
  • Cannot really fix this, instead the program sends the lowest battery data of all the trackers to the server

Original

A program that connects the HaritoraX Wireless trackers to the SlimeVR server, supporting Bluetooth and the GX(6/2) communication dongles.

This fork rewrites improves on the stability and performance of the app by rewriting the entire program from scratch; frontend and backend.

New features

• Entire frontend and backend rewrite (with Bulma and haritorax-interpreter)
  • The program now has a new UI, the code is cleaner and more maintainable, and should hopefully improve stability/performance.
• Package app files with asar
  • No need to extract thousands of files anymore 😅
• Bluetooth and GX(6/2) support (with all at the same time supported)
  • Welcome elbow tracker users!
• Set tracker settings per-tracker
  • Currently in beta and needs more testing
• Localization support
  • You can help translate the program! Clone the repo and make a new file under /src/static/languages/ with a two-letter language identifier (ending with .json, e.g. jp.json)!
• Linux support
  • This was done as SlimeVR is supported on Linux, and the first time HaritoraX trackers work on Linux!
  • ..however this is not tested at all. Please let me know if there are issues.
• Magnetometer statuses
• Dynamically grab version number from package.json (instead of relying on manually changing it per release)
• Censor tracker serial numbers
• Many new ways to debug the program
• New SlimeTora logo
• ..and many more improvements coming soon!

How to use

• Install the SlimeVR server
• Download and run the latest SlimeTora release
• Select the mode to connect to the trackers (BT/GX or both)
• (GX(6/2) dongles) Select up up to 4 COM ports that your trackers are on (3 if only using GX6, 4 if using GX6+GX2)
  • Usually, this is the first four (consecutive) available ports. COM1/COM2 are usually already used by other devices, so the ports are likely COM3, COM4, COM5 (and COM6 for GX2)
  • Check Device Manager to see what ports are being used by the trackers as USB Serial Devices
    
• Start the SlimeVR server
• Turn on your trackers and press Start connection
• Assign your trackers in SlimeVR server and enjoy! :)

Development

• Clone the project - git clone https://github.com/JovannMC/SlimeTora.git
• Install the dependencies - npm i
• Start the dev environment - npm start
