Quick Start: VerseGrip
VerseGrips add orientation tracking abilities to the Inverse3. This article outlines the VerseGrip setup procedure and its features.
VerseGrip Anatomy
The VerseGrip has three main features on the outside: (1) The ball connector which fits into the Inverse3 gimbal, (2) Input button, (3) Status LEDs, (4) Calibration button, and (5) USB-C port.
On the inside, the tracked VerseGrip contains a 3-axis orientation sensor as well as a tool attachment sensor which detects when the VerseGrip connects to an Inverse3 device.
VerseGrip Setup and Calibration
Start by downloading and installing the VerseGrip drivers onto your computer. Next, connect the VerseGrip using the USB-C cable to the computer.
Before use, the VerseGrip requires calibration and it may require recalibration after extended use. To calibrate:
- Hold the powered VerseGrip perpendicular to the monitor
- Press the calibration button located on the bottom of the VerseGrip for 3 seconds
- Continue to point the VerseGrip towards your monitor for 2 seconds
While calibrating the yellow LED will stay on. When the yellow calibration light blinks twice, calibration is complete.
LED Status
The VerseGrip has two LEDs that indicate its power state and calibration status.
LED | State | Status |
---|---|---|
green | on | Power on |
green | off | Power off |
yellow | on | Calibrating |
yellow | 2 flashes | Calibration complete |
