Tracker Schematics
Wemos D1 Mini
- IMUs ranked from best - worst
- - SlimeVR version of BNO085 from SlimeVR Store.
- - Great but expensive $$$.
- - Adafruit version of BNO085.
- - Very good and slightly cheaper than BNO Experimental
- - Great and cheaper than DSV. VERY Experimental
- - Good but a little bit more expensive than BMI270. Experimental
- - Better than BMI160 while still being cheap.
- - Very cheap but not very good performance DO NOT USE!
- - Cheap but drifts quite a bit. DO NOT USE!
- - Not terrible but plagued with fakes. DO NOT USE!
- - Experimental cheaper MPU9250 equivalent. DO NOT USE!
- - Allows for a second motion sensor to be connected.
- - The device is able to sense the battery life remaining using a 180k resistor.
- - Allows for usage even when charging, and is a recommended safety measure.
Note: If you are using the charge diodes the grey band goes on the side representated by the tip of the arrows in the diagram above.

Cable layout recommendation for auxiliary tracker
Note that while schematics show SDA and SCL running adjacent to each other, make sure that they are not physically adjacent when running in the auxiliary tracker cable. This is to avoid crosstalk and ensure stable operation of both trackers when cable and allows the extension to safely reach more than 80cm.
If you are using a ribbon cable or similar layout, use the following cable layout as a reference:
If you are using a twisted pair cable or similar layout, use the following cable layout as a reference:
