It is good practice to buy more than needed in some cases, namely programmers and ESPs, this reduces the risk of a DOA (dead on arrival) causing a delay.

There are two primary categories of trackers supported: wireless and wired.
It's super important that you really look at all your options and consider what you have before making a decision.

### Option 1: Wireless over WiFi 2.4 GHz (recommended)
### Option 1: Wireless over WiFi 2.4 GHz
Our current suggestion is that this serves as an excellent starting point.
This offers a good starting point as the ESP boards are cheaper than wired capable trackers.
However, they can be a bit more temperamental and if you are using a wired headset, they start to make less sense.
Recommended for most users.
**Pros:**
- Wider user adoption and greater support
- Lower weight, less cables, easier to manage
- Low weight, less cables, easier to manage

This is our latest setup recommended for advanced users who already
possess multiple FBT trackers (high risk of radio interference on WiFi)
and a headset with a dedicated USB port i.e. Valve Index.
This is our latest setup recommended for users with wired headsets such as the Valve Index.
**Pros:**
- Much better performance and higher framerates up to 70 FPS without latency
- Much better performance and higher framerates up to 70 FPS with lower latency
- No conflicts with advanced FBT setups such as Vive or Tundra Trackers
- No heatsinks required due to lower power consumption and heat emission
- Can be wireless or wired
- Less soldering required
**Cons:**
- Requires USB port i.e. on Valve Index and USB hub mounted on your headset
- The weight is notably higher due to no compact PCB solution developed yet
- Can be more costly
**Parts:**
- #### 2x ESP32-S3 modules

- #### 1x USB 3.0+ hub
Ensure that it is of good quality, lightweight, compact in size, and I suggest including three ports - one for the face tracker and two for ESP32-S3 boards.
Ensure that you acquire appropriate USB-A to USB-C adapters wherever required, such as for the Valve Index which has only one USB-A port.
