Building SlimeVR Trackers for Full Body Tracking	2023-03-29	false	From the cost, parts, and expectations. A full tutorial	article	/media/thumbnails/slimevr.png

⚠️ 🚧 This page is WIP, but actively updated while I wait for things to ship! 🚧 ⚠️

Goal

To build a Full body set of trackers:

7 trackers
3 extensions

Parts List & Prices

NOTE: Some extra components were purchased in case of defects

Main parts from AliExpress:

10 D1 Mini for 20.53$
13 BMI 160 for 18.99$
10 18650 Battery chargers for 6.81$
- Keep in mind that this will also work for regular LIPO batteries
See battery section for explanation

Small parts from AliExpress:

10 pack of DPDT 2P2T Panel Mount Switches for 2.99$
100 pack of 30K ohms for 4.05$
5 pack of 4Pin JST connections for 4.93$
50 pack of diodes for 2.53$

Batteries

For reference I bought:

1 ( 10 piece ) EHAO 804040 3.7V 18mAh for 32.77$

While these do work the shipping time is pretty awful compared to everything else. To deal with this problem you can swap those out for some Amazon basics 18650's and cases instead which cuts the shipping time way down:

12 pack of 18650 21.85$
10 pack of battery clips 7.99$
Total with taxes: 32.15$

Total for these is without shipping or taxes. Personally I would bet on buying batteries elsewhere ( if you're in the U.S./Canada ) since the cost is usually comparable.

Total Cost With Shipping and Taxes

If you buy the 804040 batteries: 93.60$

With the 18650's from amazon: 92.98$
