Ok thanks now it doesn't make that error anymore. But looks like my lightouses don't seem to care 😢
The script exits without any error but the stations do not start

Update: just noticed the script is supposed to say when it found a lighthouse. But I'm getting no output whatsoever, so i guess it's not finding them

Hi,

Please take look at https://github.com/DavidRisch/steamvr_utils, it expnads on this script, and maybe it will work for you.

Fixed the problem, I forgot my base stations where 1.0 and not 2.0 so it would not be able to find them anyway. https://github.com/risa2000/lhctrl this is the script for 1.0 if anyone is interested
Thanks for the help :)
