Roomsetup with a single base station?

Hi, Is it now possible to perform a room setup with a single base? A backer obviously had success with it. When I asked him, he wrote me that you had to set the base to mode a at the back to make it work:

its in german (@min 5:40)

I would like to know if it works for others, too, on what it might depend (pitool version/steam version etc.) So far the state was that it only works with 2 bases.

was at a friends place last week and brought an 8k with me and one lighthouse.
He has also a simrig, so we did not try with hand controllers.

I did install pitools and then the pitools-roomsetup (first “calibration” and then laying the hmd on the floor). it did show one basestation and tracking worked flawlessly.

That’s my video back when I had only one base station.
I would not call it roomscale with one base station but if you set it up as standing mode tracking works good.

The only problem I had was that the headset was only recognised when it’s more than 2 meters away from the base station for the initial tracking to work. Then you could go closer again.

One of the guys in the (unofficial) pimax discord was having an issue tracking. Just got the pimax, couldnt get it working with 1LH. Tried a few things I passed on (reboot pc, delete contents of %localappdata%\Pimax\runtime\config\lighthouse, restart piservicelauncher service) no joy. Just passed on this comment about being 2m away initially and it worked!?

Really useful! ty :slight_smile:
