USB Mode

  • Download the SmoothTrack USB tunnel tool.
  • Have either iTunes or both "Apple Mobile Device Support" and "Apple Application Support" installed.
  • Plug your phone into your PC's USB connection. If you haven't yet, launch iTunes once to make sure it asks for permissions to your phone.
  • Launch OpenTrack
  • Set its input mode to "UDP" and make sure its port is set to 4242, press "Start".
  • If you have not done so, open UDP port 4242 in your firewall (and restart OpenTrack if you made any changes).
  • In SmoothTrack on your iOS device, pause the tracking if need be, then in settings tap "Activate USB Connection"
