Product catalog summary
Downloading Software, USB Protocol, Data Logging Script
To begin using the AmfiTrack Development Kit, download the necessary software, including the AmfiTrack Viewer, USB protocol description, data logging script, and drivers from the provided link. The AmfiTrack Viewer is essential for visualizing tracking system outputs. Key drivers include hidapi.dll, Amfitrack_CPP_Driver.dll, and optionally AmfitrackCPPDriver_CSharpWrapper.dll for .NET applications.
Components Overview
The system comprises several components: the EMF Source, EMF Source driver, EMF sensors, USB RF Hub, and power supplies. The EMF Source emits an electromagnetic field, while the EMF sensors detect this field and calculate their position. Communication occurs via a 2.4GHz RF link. The USB RF Hub relays positioning data to a PC, and power is supplied through a 5V USB PSU.
Powering and Charging
The EMF Source can be powered via a 5V USB connection. Sensors are turned on/off with a button and charged using a 5V USB power source. Charging indicators include a flashing white LED for charging in progress and a constant white LED when charging is complete. A full charge takes approximately one hour.
Start-Up Calibration
Calibration is necessary after powering up the sensors. This process involves positioning the sensor approximately 30-40 cm from the EMF Source. The sensor's LED will turn yellow when correctly positioned, and it will become visible in the AmfiTrack Viewer software upon pressing the sensor button.
Unity Demo
A Unity demo is available for download. After connecting and calibrating the AmfiTrack system, unzip the demo file and run Amfitrack_Unity.exe. For the Unity demo project, install Unity software, build the demo project, and ensure driver DLLs are correctly placed for both the build and Unity editor environments.
