Any top tips.
Having done the fiddly bit of soldering it all together, need to do the 2nd fiddly bit of calibration.
Got my head round the instructions - 14 directions (the 6 faces and 8 vertices of a cube) each done 4 times (4 rotary orientations of the distoX).
But this bit about the first 4 being in precise directions. Not quite got my head round it.
I assume the first 4 directions are going to be (lets say) North South East and West.
Now do these have to be exactly perpendicular directions involving perhaps the drawing of a cross on a board so you can orientate the disto exactly Or are they just saying that for these 4 directions, you have to pick an exact point on which to train the lazer, so that each of the 4 rotatory shots is to exactly the same point.
Thinking of building a tea tray like construction - with a cross in the base - and then points on each 'wall' upon which to train the lazer.
Or is this a waste of time.
