Accurate Calibration

Open IW8ELN-4U opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

I cannot understand how to perform the calibration using the parameters:

#define AZIMUTH_CALIBRATION_FROM_ARRAY {180,630} #define AZIMUTH_CALIBRATION_TO_ARRAY {180,630}

I need these parameters because my rotor has no linear variation, so I would like to create more measurement points to make the AZ reading accurate.

With the debub I can read the "Analog" value and therefore I am able to attribute the right "Analog" value to each position. In my case Analog is between 3 and 517 (3 = position -180 and 517 +180 with central North). I could not find explanations regarding the values indicated, I only understood that I have to create multiple FROM_TO but it is not clear to me how to enter the parameters inside. You can give me an example with:

Position AZ 90 ° = Analog 300 Position AZ 270 = Analog 175 Position AZ 180 = Analog 225

(for example)

The limit switches are perfect (CCW and CW) made via the terminal. 73 de IW8ELN Roberto

Si grazie

#define AZIMUTH_CALIBRATION_FROM_ARRAY
{ 0, 44, 90, 179, 226, 271, 316, 329, 362, 450 } /* GRADI CHE SI LEGGONO SOTTO----these are in "raw" degrees, i.e. when going east past 360 degrees, add 360 degrees*/

#define AZIMUTH_CALIBRATION_TO_ARRAY
{ 0, 45, 90, 180, 225, 270, 315, 330, 360, 448 } /* GRADI REALI

Ciao Ahh... che rotore usi? Io il G-1000DXC e non riesco a fare bene il rallentamento.....
