seems like a cool idea but it just says ''Not connected'' on right corner of the app for me

A bit late, but I had also this problem. Deactivate all not used network adapters on your PC, make sure there are no firewall issue, and make sure you don't have some kind of VPN on your PC and phone.

I was able to connect my phone with VAM and it seems the Magnetometer is also working, however in my case I seem to have issues with the Acellerometer not being callibrated. I have downloaded an App to help with this issue but it wont be recognized by the phone controller app... Any idea what i can do? I use a Huawai Mate 10

I can not imagine accelerometer to cause a problem. Normally it just works, not even a "last thing to break"

Have you ever used your accelerometer in another app?

I just downloaded the "Classic Labyrinth 3d Maze" and it works and it is motion based. I will try other apps and try to find out what might cause these accelerometer issues.

This is what my screen looks like (not connected at the moment...).
Btw. thanks for taking your time looking into this??

With the new version, after about 2 minutes the phone app disconnects and the error log shows this: "!> term FMDFHGBDR", then if I want to remove or reload the plugin VaM freezes.

Xiaomi Redmi 6A. accelerometer not calibrated. Nothing works. It says connected but I can't move with anything.

I have problems with the same, update to the latest version and everything, same Wi-Fi network, well installed plugin and good internet, firewall disabled and no interference, I still have the same problem, it does not connect me to the App ...

Be sure to also disable any adblock local or other VPN on your phone.

Could this in the future equate to body tracking with vive tracker?

Eugene-E0a80fd8080ff8e updated Phone Controller For VaM with a new update entry:

works with Vam 1.20.7.77

two fixes:
- VaM plugin is made compatible with VaM version 1.20.77.7
- PhoneController is now a proper controller for AcidBubbles' Timeline plugin. Works as you might expect.

The Android application haven't changed from v0.2 to v0.3 . You don't need to upgrade if you already have v0.2.

You can download apk (android app) here https://github.com/Eugene-E0a80fd8080ff8e/PhoneControllerForVaM/releases
Here is some instructions and descriptions...

It worked for me after disconnecting all network adapters, except for the built-in wifi adapter itself, and uninstalling Radmin VPN, which was also perceived by the system as a network adapter.
I like to use it with a little modification. I simply connect the magnitude of the speed vector3 provided by the accelerometer and the animation speed of the Timeline plugin using a VariableTrigger. It gains something like the simplest teledidonics.
