Calibration matches the encoder response to motor motion. Run it after initial setup, and after changing a motor or encoder.

  1. Make sure the dome is clear to move through its full range of travel.
  2. Click Perform motor/encoder calibration.
  3. The dome will exercise the motor, both in CW and CCW direction, stopping, moving again, until the system measures every parameter it needs for accurate operation. Do not interrupt this process unless necessary.
  4. On success, a confirmation dialog appears. Click Save configuration to the board immediately to preserve the calibration data.
If calibration fails

Check that the encoder is properly connected and that the board can detect movement. Try reducing the physical max speed and re-running. If the issue persists, check wiring and ensure the motor is turning in the correct direction.
