If you don't know what that means this project may just be a step beyond your skill level. That's why soldering methods are not covered in this tutorial either. Sorry.
Tried to get as close to the layout diamensions as shown in the FreeTrack Setup Screen. (Adjust accordenly)
TEST: Works 6 dof, baby!
Build at your own risk.
Not affilated with NP or the FreeTrack guys.
Logos used without their knowledge , but this is a hobby site.
Good Luck.
Trimmed off the plastic tab that held the wire apart so the backside fits against your head.
Drilled hole for machine screw all of the way through the foam.
While I was doing this the little hinge pin fell out so will have to glue it back in. But probably easier to remove the pin before drilling so you don't lose it.
May, or may not wrap it in black electrical tape. Don't know yet.
