Steering Motor Calibration ============================= Autocalibration --------------- Turn on robot and controller. With SWA flipped to down position, and VRA pushed to bottommost position, press KEY1. .. image:: figures/ranger_auto_calibration_1.jpg :width: 380 px .. image:: figures/ranger_calibration_3.jpg :width: 380 px Manual Calibration ------------------ Turn off robot and controller. While robot is turned off, adjust the position of the steering wheels. Using a long straight object to help straighten the wheels is generally sufficient. .. image:: figures/ranger_calibration_1.jpg :width: 380 px Turn on robot and controller. With SWA flipped to down position, and VRA pushed to topmost position, press KEY1. .. image:: figures/ranger_calibration_2.jpg :width: 380 px The controller display should flash a error code for 1-2 seconds then return to normal. Calibration is completed. 4.
