Aerodrums and Aered forums

hi, so i'm stuck, although a long time user. i had to do a reinstall of my OS onto a new SSD drive, and expected reinstallation of aerodrums to be no problem, but can't get camera working: symptoms: device manager says playstation eye camera installed under libusb-win32 drivers plus a usb camera-b4 ...

Sounds like you could gain from a mixture of camera height adjustment and then a repositioning of kit pieces, (on copy of default kit say) - the forward distance you refer to is judged by the size change of reflectors as detected by camera. If the cam is quite high looking down then you lose some of...

Knowing Aerodrums re the mod I use to hit heads with i think this would work ok if you can avoid the reflectors wobbling or bouncing or moving after impact, so would need to be a pretty solid method of attachment to your hand. Reckon using a mouldable plastic like polymorph could so the trick as can...

Yes the field of vision from the lens is critical to correct operation. You do have one right!?

Looking fwd to seeing any complete IR setup.

Currently I made a cap with a shade on i can slap on and off my noggin as needed, works OK!

Cool, anticipate what you knock up.. Worth noting from my findings that any light need not be at the very tip of the stick (as we'd initially imagine). AD just wants to see hit 'shapes' in an area of space so the light being exactly where the real tip is isn't a necessity, I used that fact when put ...

Interesting stuff.. I have (too) many of those kinder egg things :D I am still greedy and want to hit heads too! Have an idea formulating, not tried it yet. but to answer Wolfgang's question, I got good tracking using my smartphone 'torch' as a test which is just a bright led .. Maybe something you ...

Yes can put any drum anywhere you like and also specify your dominant hand.

Cool, :D I think without the camera lights on the ambient light becomes more critical so in the dark any led need not be bright but if e.g outdoors its got a lot more of a job to do. Am tempted to just put some little but bright LEDs on regular sticks near the tip, rather than do a tip replacement j...

no i understood squire!, was merely suggesting that for many, just having lights on the sticks would be an improvement to the current situation - less bright and not in your eye constantly. i say that since as is easier to implement than IR sticks - kind of your step 1: so i wondered if you'd tried ...

Hi, It would be interesting to see how just permanently on normal leds works with Aerodrums, you said you didn't have them... Need to fix that! I think light up sticks woild be akot less visually distracting/nauseating than the lit camera, plus between 'takes' etc its easy to turn them off and they ...
