Pairing F18SGRH
Pairing is a preliminary action necessary to calibrate the sensors integrated in the
F18CGRH. Since some users have had problems with the YAW axis due to a bad
pairing function, we have decided to change the pairing procedure, which consists in
three circular movements: in yaw, roll and pitch, The device also contains a factory
pairing that allows the user to have a fully functional device when received and to
recover it if necessary. Naturally, the user can continue doing his own pairing.
This new factory pairing is available only in CE models and it is made manually device
by device and saved in the memory flash of device.
As we
’ve said above, the user can improve the response of the sensors doing his own
pairing and allowing thereby the new pairing to have information about the magnetic
fields of the game room and compensate the irregularities; it will allow a better YAW
precision.
As you will need to move spatially the F18CGRH during the pairing, this operation has
to be done with a power cable, typically the USB to mini-Din cable.
NOTE
: please, when you connect the cable to the grip, pay special attention to correctly align the two
connectors to avoid damaging the pins or connectors. For that, both connectors have visible marks as
you can see in the picture above.
The procedure is made in three phases displayed by
the “Counter” value shown in the
Output window.
Phase 1: the counter goes from 0 to 99 and the movement must be of 360º around
the YAW axis.
Phase 2: the counter goes from 100 to 199 and the movement must be of 360º
around the ROLL axis.
Phase 3: the counter goes from 200 to 300 and the movement must be of 360º
around the PITCH axis.
