Hi all,

If I have a kit similar to this:

Can I make use of it (combined with a webcam) for 2dof tracking?

Or even to somehow power the IR emitter led via the PL 2.5mm connector?

You only need one do or one led for 2dof.A remote has one led, but most of the time they flash.If you have a webcam or other digital camera you can check this.If it flashes you can try it with freetrack but I doubt that it will give you the tracking you want.

That IR emitter led via the PL 2.5mm connector, I expect that it only gives ir-light when some ir-led is shining on it.It will do the same as what is shining on it.
