The tracker device has been connected but not working

Postby dobromir.cias » 12 Aug 2014, 15:14

Every time after few minutes (or even less!) device is being disconnected without any reason...

Server says: "The Eye Tribe Tracker has been disconnected!"

Server log says: "The tracker device has been connected but not working"

API console keeps sending heartbeats, but doesn't receive any data.

Leds on device are still on, but the only way to make it working again is to replug the USB cable...

This is not after hours, it's after max 2 minutes (or even seconds)! This makes that device totally unusable!

Tested on 3 laptops:

1. Asus N550J with Windows 8.1 - disconnects after max few minutes (or even seconds)
2. Samsung 550P - Windows 8.1 - disconnects after max few minutes (or even seconds)
3. Lenovo ThinkPad E540 with Windows 7 - seems to be working fine... but didn't test for longer period.

SDK version 0.9.40 x86.

What can I do about it?

Best regards.

PS. DirectShow error -2147024809 is "The parameter is incorrect", so it seems to be some application problem, not device itself...

Hi dobromir,

Sorry to hear your having such problems. We've seen it on some computers as well and it seems to relate to MS DirectShow, particularly on older systems. On our newer Core i3/i5/ i7 desktops & laptops and the Surface Pro it runs without hiccups, on a crappy low-end HP laptop with an AMD chip it rarely keeps going for more than 2 hours. It is very system dependent.

It's one of those things we keep working on and will not settle until it working on most USB3.0 equipped systems. The only recommendation I can provide is to continuously update the software and let us know if it improves.

Btw, did you try disabling power management/saving functions for the USB on the Windows 8 systems?
