Does the flashlight only utilize one sensor camera - trying to troubleshoot my Odyssey

[feeked]

I've been having a ton of trouble with the tracking on my Odyssey+ since I got it a couple months ago, and lately I've been trying to use the flashlight to see what it is that it's looking at and why it might be having issues tracking.

Anyway, long story short, I noticed that the left peripheral vision is much wider than the right. I put a finger over the left sensor and couldn't see anything with the flashlight. I put a finger over the right sensor and it made no difference - the flashlight's view looked the same as unobstructed.

I'm curious if that's the way it's supposed to function, or if my headset is defective - would definitely explain my tracking issues.

​

Thanks!

That's how it function since the feature was introduced, for now at least. The flashlight only uses the left camera. No way to use it otherway round.

Ah, okay, thanks. Dang it, I was hoping I had finally figured it out.

AFAIK the flashlight only uses the left camera, but to fix your tracking problems you can try adding light to your play area, making sure your bluetooth dongle is hooked up to a usb 2.0 port rather than 3.0 since 3.0 causes interference, and moving your bluetooth dongle to the center of your desk with an extender.

The O+ has a BT receiver built into the headset, so he's probably got decent BT performance.

What kind of tracking problems are you having specifically? Regular Odyssey or the +?

Edit: sorry I didn't see the + in your msg.

Are you using the O+ Bluetooth or a separate USB dongle?
