my third motor is exclusively for heave and SMC3 UTIL 'motor3' only gives 4 or 31 kHz as options. Can I simply edit the file to 15 kHz? "Timer2FreqkHz = 15" And have all motors on 15kHz. Failing that my other option is to swap my least motor stressed to 3 as the heave axis is the one most stressed.

I am not capable of coding at all
BUT
as I understand OpenAI might be a one in a lifetime experience for you people who know how to code and want their working process to be made much more convenient.

I found this on YouTube.


Have a great day,

In my motion cueing software (YAME) I would like to implement a virtual tracker that talks to OVRMC via a MemoryMappedFile. As far as I understood, the MMF only contains a Struct that holds the necessary data:
99175

I already have all the necessary data to fill this struct, but since my software is written in C# there is no library for it, so "vr::HmdVector3d_t" is an unknown type.

I was thinking that for the MMF it shouldn't make a difference, as long as the...

I've got the encoder into the SMC code and:
-the SMC monitor displays a near perfect overlay of target and feedback
- the motor appears to be in sync but is advancing (or regressing).
It did not behave like this using a pot for feedback so I don't think the gears are at fault.

I did follow this video and used all the parts same.
