Parts List
CAUTION
Please note that no hardware has been fully set in stone, all purchases are at your loss if hardware changes.
This page will include a basic part list for building an EyeTrackVR setup
NOTE
It is recommended to source the main parts from AliExpress as it is much cheaper.
NOTE
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.
Camera setup
2x ESP-CAM-32 modules
2x ov2640 160° FOV IR / Night vers 75mm (850nm)
AliExpress
Amazon alternative (note that you will have to manually remove the IR filter)
1x ESP-CAM programmer / MB
AliExpress
Amazon for 3 ESP32-Cams and programmers without the proper cameras
1x USB type-A male port to power both ESPs
Bare breakout on AliExpress
Amazon
Or one with a cover on AliExpress

1x Lower gauge wire to power ESPs
28 AWG gauge wire from AliExpress
28 AWG Amazon
2x External antennas for ESPs
IR Emitters
IR LED kit
If you do not want to source things from multiple places or save money or time on assembly, you can buy a LED kit from me.
Pre soldered kit
Raw component kit
Alternatively you can source the parts yourself:
- 4x Unfocused SMD IR emitters
(Recomended) from LCSC here.
(Alternative) from Digikey here.
The difference between them is the ones from LCSC are rated for lower power, which means in the event of a short or mishap they should be safer, as well as being smaller in footprint, hence why they are recommended.
NOTE
The smaller ones can not be soldered at temps above 245C or they will burn. Low temp solder is recommended.
CAUTION
If they look like something you would find in a TV remote, do not use them. If you aren't exactly sure what you are doing, buy them from the LCSC or Digikey link.
4x IR emitter PCBs (highly recommended) Gerber files and schematics located here.
4x 350ohm 1206 SMD resistors for IR emitters (If you are not using PCBs for the emitters then buying regular through-hole resistors is acceptable)
This ensures you get the correct IR emitter parts. If you are a Patreon please check out discount codes available to you, and also check out unit pricing.

3D Printed Mounts
Mounts with a ★ next to them are the recommended mounts for the respected hmd. This is based on user feedback on what works best for most people.
Other Headsets
If you own another headset not listed above, that means there are no mounts designed for them yet. If you have basic skills in modeling or think up a solution to mount cams and emitters, please try to make a mount and then let us in the discord know so it can be added here. Any headset that can fit the camera is potentially compatible. If you are willing, give it a shot to design a mount for the rest of the community.
Check out our basic guide on making your own mount here.
TIP
If you have a headset mount that is not listed above, please let us know in the discord so it can be added here.
