Getting Started

The Material Plane DIY hardware is one of the hardware options for Material Plane to track minis on a display.
You will have to assembly everything yourself. If you can't or don't want to do this, consider buying the pre-build production hardware, which has some other advantages over the DIY hardware. For a full comparison between the various mini-tracking options, please read the hardware comparison page.

The table of contents on the left is ordered in a way that you should start from the top and move your way down, but below you will find a short description of the most important steps you will need to take to get started:

1. Make sure you know what the requirements are for using Material Plane
2. Figure out what kind of sensor version you want to build
3. Build a 'DIY-Full' or 'DIY-Basic' sensor
4. Build one or more bases
5. Upload/update the sensor firmware
6. Figure out the optimal sensor mounting method and position
7. Connect the sensor to your WiFi network
8. Configure the sensor
9. Install and configure the VTT module
10. Calibrate the sensor
11. Learn how to properly use the module
