Thanks! Stuck on optimizing the code.
The person helping me with arduino coding is only available on weekends and it is taking a long time. Unfortunately i am not proficient in coding arduino and coding in general, so i have to rely on others.
Wonderimg if there is anyone here proficient in arduino coding willing to help.
I have 1 version of the coding that needs some fine tuning to be completed.
The older version of the coding already works but it works differently than the latest coding and it is giving me a hard time thinking at a location to wear the accelerometers to make this old version of coding work since the accelerometers need to move in acertain way to distinguish between slow walk and fast run
Anyone would please share a list of games to test on the kat loco? Which games you would like to know if they work and that are not on the list of games already told by kat loco to be compatible with kat loco?
Will do… So far I haven’t been able to make it work yet, so there’s a plus for WalkOVR…
Setup was so much easier on the WalkOVR (the calibration sequence on the KAT Loco kit is a bit annoying since I’m doing it in another room and have to remember the steps as walking back and forth during calibration between monitor and play space will screw it up (fail).
Calibration is done after memorizing the steps, but no movement in Boneworks (which should be supported, I guess).
There’s absolutely nothing about the options in the manual, so there’s another + for the WalkOVR though only a small one as settings defaulted to non-working too…
EDIT: Just noticed there’s a “Installation and first use video of KAT loco”:
EDIT2: Doesn’t show anything regarding the actual setup, so I’m unsure why it doesn’t work. Maybe I should redo the calibration again. Also noticed on their page that there’s a SteamVR dashboard for the KAT Gateway software which is cool, so I’ll give that a go while in-game…
Yes. Katloco calibration is a pain in the butt. Walkovr calibrarion is a 1 click calibration instead.
I had to redo the calibration multiple times on the katloco go get it right. Annoying.
Make sure in their software to select the right mode before starting the game. It should be on turbo
Also make sure to mount the right sensor on the right foot. By the bright light there is a letter that indicates if that sensor is the right or the left.
Also recharge the units. They are not charged/low charge in the box . The light should be solid and not blinking
@MarcoBalletta. Moved the KAT Loco discussion over here…
It seems to me the software for the KAT Loco (“KAT Gateway”) is pretty broken…
Seems like it keeps trying to start it up but fails. As soon as You mouse-over the icons they’re gone so that part is just Windows…
I’ll try to reboot again and give it one more go (just noticed that they’re placing the sensors on the side of the ankles and not the front so trying that too), but so far I haven’t been able to move forward at all, only side-ways and backwards but not when I should…
EDIT: It gets even “better”. After rebooting I had the same issue so I uninstalled KAT Gateway and KAT InSteam (which is installed by KAT Gateway I guess).
I had also installed KAT IO as I didn’t know if that was needed but it seems like that’s only for the threadmills so I tried to uninstall it:
Got into the same problem and they fix it manually going into my PC. That sucks because i just asked yesterday if they fixed that since i had to remove their software. Obliviously it is still broken. So annoying!
Ok. They were just suggesting to install that version, but then I checked in their previous messages to me and they asked the same thing when i had issues…if i installed what in the end does not work…
They fix it by getting inside my pc.
They said to remove katio. It gives compatible issues…which is crazy since it is their own software, which i have with my katvr mini
Well, that might be it then. Maybe the “KAT Gateway” service is supplied by both programs?
Me neither. Sadly, I don’t have much time for playing/fiddling with half-baked software either so I often let them off the hook and get annoyed instead…
I’ll try to see if I can clean up the KATIO install manually to see if they fixes it.
Haven’t had a chance to try it yet, but thanks for the instructions…
EDIT: Didn’t work. As soon as the service is started the issue returns.
I’ll contact their support (EDIT2: Done).
EDIT3: The carpet (stretch goal) reeks of that nasty chemical smell (same as the foam on the Pimax, just a lot worse). So much that it’s outside now and I probably won’t be using it for the first week or so…
