I found my way to this forum for a completely different reason than probably most other people. i have an original vive headset and then when the index was released i bought the controllers. now i have 2 index controllers and 2 old vive controllers. there are instructions to flash those controllers to behave like vive trackers. this is a great way of repurposing something that otherwise has no real use anymore. the problem is that you can only connect 2 devices at a time to the headset. for trackers you need additional reciever dongles which cannot be bought seperately or only at an absurd price. there used to be the possibility to reflash a steam controller dongle but those are discontinued now too. so i went out searching for alternative flashable dongles with an nrf chip. thats when i found crazyradio. unfortunately flashing the firmware doesnt work.
tldr:
i want to flash a crazyradio to be a replacement for a vive tracker dongle but it doesnt work.
i took the same binary that is used in the
guide for flashing a steam controller dongle and then flashed it according to
these instructions and then got the following error message:
Code: Select all
verification failed at byte 0 (expected 0x02, read 0xFA)
flashing the intended firmware works and flashing a steam controller dongle also worked in the past(i only have one unfortunately). any idea what i could do differently or is this even remotely possible? thanks for reading.
