Please note due to the LED positioning, these will **require you to extend the LED wire, or get [110mm extensions](https://store.eyetrackvr.dev/products/2x-110mm-replacement-wires)**

## MUTEtheCyberwolf's DEV Frunk Mod:
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Mod Details
|
||||
The DEV Frunk is a popular choice for ETVR on the Index. Replacing the original index frunk entirely, it has multiple mounting points for both the XIAO's, a Vive Facial Tracker (or [babble!](https://www.printables.com/model/745299-xiao-sense-case-seeed-studio-xiao-esp32s3-sense-ca)), and cutouts for 30x30x7mm fans.
|
||||
|
||||
It also provides excellent ventilation simply due to the design being much more open, as well as a flip up design for the face tracker mount.
|
||||
|
||||
Combined, it creates a clean setup with no need for hot glue or alternatives to mount your hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Extra Parts Needed:
|
||||
I recommend a screw kit like [this](https://www.amazon.com/XOOL-Precision-Screwdriver-Extension-Smartphone/dp/B086SQZGLJ) one
|
||||
- 1x T5 Torx Screwdriver
|
||||
- 1x H3.0 Screwdriver
|
||||
- 1x Soldering Iron for heat inserts
|
||||
- 8x M4x8.1 Heat Inserts [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256804349544912.html) Choose Size: M4 (OD 6mm)50pcs | Color: Length 8mm
|
||||
- 6x M4x10 Screws [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832624557792.html) Choose Size: M4 20pcs | Length: 10mm
|
||||
- 1x M4x30 Screws [AliExpress](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2251832624557792.html) Choose Size: M4 20pcs | Length: 30mm
|
||||

||||
#### 3D Printed Mounts
|
||||
Found at MUTEtheCyberwolf's [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/MUTEtheCyberwolf/VALVE-INDEX-DEV-Frunk-1.0/tree/main/3D%20Print%20Files%20STL(Ascii))
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to print:
|
||||
- 1x Coverplate for XIAO Retention Clip (Logo or no Logo)
|
||||
- 1x XIAO Retention Clip (Letters or no Letters)
|
||||
- 1x Eyetrack VR Prototype XIAO Mount.stl
|
||||
- 1x FacialTrackerBeerHingeVIDEVFrunk1.stl
|
||||
- 1x FacialTrackerBridgeVIDEVFrunk1.stl
|
||||
- Alternatively, if you have the [LDLRUI USB HUB](https://www.amazon.com/LDLrui-4-Port-Splitter-Multiport-Adapter/dp/B0BLHCD7FS), [this modified version](https://github.com/Frosty704/mods-eyetrackvr/blob/main/ldlrui%20case%20and%20bridge%20merged-FacialTrackerBridgeVIDEVFrunk1.stl) of the DEV Frunk Bridge can snap fit the hub onto the bridge. [Example](https://i.imgur.com/kRvx56r.jpeg)
|
||||
- 1x ValveIndexDEVFrunk1.stl
|
||||
- Alternatively, if you are interested in routing the ribbon cables internally, [this modified DEV Frunk](https://github.com/Frosty704/mods-eyetrackvr/blob/main/ValveIndexDEVFrunk1_MODIFIED.stl) has holes at the top for sliding through ribbon cables and power cables. [Example](https://i.imgur.com/RcYQ8xd.png)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Assembly Details:
|
||||
#### 1. Heat Inserts
|
||||
1. Start with inserting your heat inserts to the designated holes on the frunk. Place the heat inserts so the side with the smaller radius sits in the hole
|
||||
- When heating up the inserts, **let the weight of the soldering iron do the work**, they make take a few seconds to start moving on their own.
|
||||
- **Do not push down**, and remove the iron when they are level with the print. It doesn't need to be perfect, so take your time!
|
||||

|
||||
2. Next, place a heat insert into the bigger hole of the facial tracker bridge
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Lastly, place another heat insert into the thick side of the beer hinge
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Your finished heat inserts should look like this
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. Screws
|
||||
|
||||
Now you're done with the hardest part!
|
||||
We can move onto screwing in the XIAO Mount and Facial tracker bridge onto the frunk, into the heat inserts we just inserted.
|
||||
- The XIAO mount should be placed so the longer side is not blocking the fan holes
|
||||
- If you have trouble screwing them in, try screwing them equally to distribute the pressure more evenly.
|
||||
- Screw one a little, screw the opposite the same amount, repeat.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Two last things to screw in will be the beer hinge and vive facial tracker or babble case if you have it
|
||||
|
||||
1. Place the smaller hole of the beer hinge inbetween the bridge's screw holes.
|
||||
- Screwing in **opposite** of where the heat insert is. You should be screwing ***into*** the heat insert
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. For the last screw, repeat the same steps, but line up your face tracker or babble case. Screw from the same direction, into the heat insert of the beer hinge.
|
||||
Use either an M4x10 or an M4x30. I find the M4x10 sometimes loses tension, while the M4x30 doesnt.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Your final result should look like this
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. Mounting components
|
||||
|
||||
1. You can now push the XIAO's into the mount, making sure they are down snug, if you haven't already.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Place your V4 LED kit PCB into the middle of the XIAO Retention Clip. Ensure the hole in the PCB alligns with the small bump on the retention clip.
|
||||
You will have to slide it in and push it under the overhangs until they snap over the PCB.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
3. Route your V4 LED connectors through the coverplate holes prior to putting it on
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4. Place the coverplate ontop of the LED PCB until the front of it snaps down and locks it over the retention clip.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Then you can slide the retention clip over your XIAO mount to keep them in place.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. Replacing frunk
|
||||
|
||||
**PLEASE UNPLUG YOUR INDEX FROM POWER BEFORE CONTINUING**
|
||||
|
||||
You must have a T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the original index frunk screws, we will use the same screws to hold the dev frunk in place.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
1. If you do not have fans, and are mounting a USB Hub infront, I recommend now plugging in the USB hub through the fan holes, as you won't be able to after dev frunk is screwed on.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use the USB C port below the middle bottom screw, and passthrough a hub with a [FEMALE USB-C/A to MALE USB A](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802596853859.html) cable
|
||||
|
||||
2. Once the frunk is removed, line up your DEV Frunk and screw it back in the same way. Support it in a way you can screw in without it falling.

## Physics-Dude's Gumstick USB Hub Dongle
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### Mod Details
|
||||
Physics-Dude's Gumstick Dongle provides a way to cleanly install EyeTrackVR, all fitting into the frunk. It will require significantly more tinkering and ability to solder.
|
||||
|
||||
### Installation instructions and BOM available on [Physics-Dude's Repo](https://github.com/Physics-Dude/Phys-Index-EyetrackVR-HW/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#gum-stick-usb-hub-dongle)
