calibration

Introduction

You may have noticed, that the mouthpiece of the FLipmouse is extremely sensitive. It is one of the biggest advantages of this device, but there are some problems related to the sensitivity. Maybe you noticed, that the mouse cursor is moving, if you change the position while the FLipmouse is plugged in?

This page describes which calibration facilities we built in and how to use them:

• If you just built a new FLipmouse, please follow the instructions in Getting started
• If you want to know something about the runtime calibration (triggered while the device is used), have a look at Runtime calibration
• You find additional information on the start up calibration in Start-up calibration
• Detailed information and links to the sourcecode are available in the last part: Further information

Getting started

So you just finished building our FLipmouse construction set?

Congratulations!

You need to follow a few additional steps to complete the setup. This chapter shows you how the initial sensor calibration is done for the FLipmouse. To achieve maximum accuracy, please follow the following steps.

Prerequisites:

• Fully assembled FLipmouse (see: Building the FLipmouse)
• FLipmouse firmware is running (see: Initial setup)
• Running FLipmouseGUI software, which is able to connect to the FLipmouse (see: [GUI config] (https://github.com/asterics/FLipMouse/wiki/gui))

Goals:

• Calibrated mouthpiece sensors
• Calibrated sip'n'puff sensor

Steps:

1. Unmount the mouthpiece
2. Unmount the front cover (hold by 2xM3 screws) to have access to the 4xM4 screws:
3. Connect the FLipmouse to the PC
4. Start the FLipmouse GUI software and connect to the FLipmouse
5. Open the tab "Force levels":
