a few notes for calibration: - when warming up the trackers, the best way is to simply wear them for ~30 minutes while they're on and connected - if using MBE firmware, a calibration jig becomes even more important, since you don't want to touch/hold the tracker at all when doing 6 sides. if you can't print one, try sandwiching the tracker between a wall and some other object so you don't have to hold it in place.
you can also turn one your tracker while charging and preheat it from there (you need diodes when using the tracker while charging) anyway is there stl file in 4:55
oh ffs. I have been doing all of my calibrations via serial, struggling with the USB cable coming unplugged, making a very dangerous unshielded USB cable to go deeper into the port with some sketchy 90 degree angles so the cable isn't in the way on the one side, trying to counter twist the cable at the same time... :p Thank you for this! I have noticed that some tracker firmware requires accelerometer calibration as well, so far noticed for the BMI160s, is there a light guide to calibrate this as well that I can find? :)
For all the IMUs I've tested, including BMI160, BMI270, LSM6DSV and LSM6DSO, the flash pattern is pretty similar. At the very least, just watch for a bunch of flashes and then that quick Blink that indicates 'side 1 done'. Worst case, do a test run in serial and watch the LED flash as the serial monitor ticks over, just putting a garbage calibration in, and then once you know what the flash pattern looks like, unplug it and do it for real.

How much resets(min) u get between drifts ?
Thx so much about to build my own with bmi270 and wad worried about how to do this step
Do you have to do the 6 sided calibration eveytime you turn it on?
No, this is a one-time thing when setting up the trackers
@AdamantIT2 i see thanks.
That means I do not have to start it upside down every time i use it?
Thank you!! I could hug you!
I builded my bmi 160 but It keep give gmi 1 as a port and dont find the traker
