a mass usb storage device will show up, drag and drop the tracker or reciever firmware depeding what your tranna flash. you only need one reviever (just a basic nicenano ali clone, like your tracker)
Pairing & Calibration New
I made a tool that makes it really simple to pair and calibrate
Plug in your Reciever, select Reciever tab, press Pair, turn on all the trackers and they will start showing on terminal, once all are connected, press Exit Pair. Done!
Calibration has 2 ways, basic: With the dongle connected to yur pc and your tracker on. doubble press the button and dont touch the tracker for 8~ seconds. Do with all trackers one by one. Done!
Advanced:
Plug in the tracker, connect it to the SmolSlime app, open the Tracker tab and press Calibrate 6 Sides
Pairing & Calibration Old
Download: nRF Desktop
Connect the dongle with the flashed firmware, type pair in serial, turn on all your trackers and they will show up. one by one. once all are connected put exit in serial. close the app and open SLimeVR app Here. Note you might just might need to restart your pc. Also atm im not sure if its compatable on Linux.
