 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Doing GUI CALIBRATE Done. No errors Deviation X = -2, Y = -2147483648 (pixels) Is the Y value OK? This is PicoMite (non-VGA) V5.07.06 with the Boat computer hardware. Displayed items seem where they should be so all in practice looks good... John Edited 2023-02-25 06:09 by JohnS |

No Errors is the bit that matters, Deviation is just information about the difference between your unit and the prototype. Each time you calibrate you usually get slightly different deviations, as it is difficult to touch with one pixel accuracy. Parallax adds more unless your line of sight is exactly perpendicular to the screen. Manufacturing tolerances also contribute. As long as it looks right it is right. |

In Hex the y value is FFFF FFFF 8000 000 That looks "interesting" Jim VK7JH MMedit |

Internally the calibration error is a 32-bit signed integer and it looks like the PicoMite firmware tried to convert it to a 64-bit integer for display (and did not succeed). This is not important, as Phil said "No Errors is the bit that matters". Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |
