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 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 AliExpress here
2x ov2640 160° fov IR / Night vers 75mm (850nm) AliExpress here or Amazon alternative cams that you will have to manually remove the IR filter on here
1x ESP-CAM programmer/ MB AliExpress here
Here is an Amazon link for 3 ESP32-Cams and programmers without the proper cameras here
- 1x USB type-A male port to power both ESPs
Bare breakout on AliExpress here or Amazon here
Or one with a cover on AliExpress here or Amazon here
- 1x Lower gauge wire to power ESPs 28 gauge wire from AliExpress here or Amazon here
Reccommended:
- 2x External antennas for ESPs AliExpress here or Amazon here
IR Emitters
- 4x Unfocused SMD IR emitters Recomended ones from LCSC here. Alternative ones 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, 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.
2x 698-710ohm resistors or the more recommend way, 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)
or
I have a kit with the resistors, IR LEDs, and PCBs on Tindie here. I also have a pre-soldered kit also on Tindie here 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.
- 1x Wire to power IR emitters 32 gauge wire from AliExpress here
Other parts
1x Hot glue or another form of glue. Hot glue gun from AliExpress here or Amazon here
1x Soldering iron and solder (lead-free solder highly recommended) Generic soldering iron from AliExpress here or Amazon here
3D Printed Mounts
Mounts with a ★ next to them are the reccomended mounts for the respected hmd. This is based user feedback on what works best for the 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.
