  1. Well, i might have been overly optimistic about making the bmi270 modules myself. I should have checked the size before buying all 10 of them 😭 even under 30x optical zoom, it's very difficult to trace the pads and my printer can't even print that well elements this tiny (yes this is a regular needle on that pic, the pads are 0.25mm x 0.475mm in size). I think i will have to order PCBs or just ready modules 😔

    I assembled a bunch of those modules and ran a quick test. Looks like the chips work so i suppose i can start flashing the actual slime vr firmware onto it

  4. Finally came back to the slime vr project. I have all the components so here is a timelapse of me assembling the pcb of the bmi270 module. Don't worry i corrected all the pieces after the recording

  6. Gonna start a new project soon. My partner tasked me with crafting a full body tracking suit for her vr headset. I will be making the slimevr with 10 BMI270 sensors. I find it incredibly neat that there is an opensource solution for this :neocat_cute:

  7. You know when you fix that animation playback bug at 3AM, and record/playback a clip to self-highfive before turning off the #metaquest and going to bed?
