  1. Make sure that you have configured the driver correctly. Take particular note of:
    1. Your COM ports match that of your device (if you're using Serial USB)
    2. Your Bluetooth device names (if you're using Bluetooth Serial)
      1. And that the names do not collide with eachother.
    3. You have the latest version of the firmware downloaded. Firmware version != prototype built. Download the latest firmware.
    4. You have the correct "Encoding Protocol" set. This should be set to "Alpha Encoding".
    5. Your firmware configuration matches what you have set in the driver.
      1. If you have set USING_FORCE_FEEDBACK to false in the firmware, uncheck Feedback Enabled under OpenGlove Settings in the UI (if this is the case you should notice that the fingers update, but only periodically)
      2. Keep it true for if you have USING_FORCE_FEEDBACK set to true.
  2. Make sure that you have uploaded the firmware to the arduinos

Steam VR launches, but it looks really bad and jittery.

  1. Make sure you have a supported CPU and GPU for VR. Oculus hardware requirements (https://support.oculus.com/articles/headsets-and-accessories/oculus-link/oculus-link-compatibility/)
  2. Alternatively you could try lowering for resolution in the SteamVR settings.
  3. If your are using the oculus AirLink try switching to a USB cable.

My fingers are not calibrated

  1. if you have an ESP32, put your hand on a flat surface and press the BOOT button. This automatically calibrates your fingers.
