05) Using a Gear VR controller

You can optionally use a Gear VR controller instead of the keyboard (but be aware that it might not always properly register button clicks, specially when you are between the controller and the PC Bluetooth adapter). Your PC Bluetooth adapter must support BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices (i.e., must support at least Bluetooth 4.0, but not all Bluetooth 4.0 dongles support BLE). Click a controller button to wake it up before starting the FreePIE script. Look in the FreePIE console to see if your Gear VR controller is connected. If it disconnects, restart the script. To enable the Gear VR controller in FreePIE, download and install the FreePIEVRController DLL plugin in the FreePIE plugins folder, and don't forget to unblock it (right-click the file, select Properties, check Unblock).

These are the functions currently provided by each Gear VR button:

• [Trigger] toggles between modes; hold to move hand & head positions when flying
• [Touchpad click] for faster flying speed
• [Back] to reset head & hand positions
• [Vol.Up] and [Vol.Down] to move hand position, in either mode
