Why is it so hard to calibrate?

[user_75533]

Hello,

I have Orion installed (software 3.2.0+45899) with firmware version 1.7.0. I use a reflective monitor (switched off) to reflect the light from the Controller.

I had to close my curtains and even without strong ambient light it's very hard to reach 80. It takes a lot of time, with the blue circle often jumping.

Is it as hard for everybody?
And does anyone reach a score higher than 80?
By the way the calibration tool won't record anything any more when 80 is reached, so how could one reach a higher score?

The calibration process can be a fit finicky at times. For best results, I would recommend attempting the calibration with a mirror.

The calibration tool will record your highest score above 80 although it only shows the "Saved" notification once you hit the score threshold of 80.

In case you haven't seen it, I would recommend taking a look at our calibration video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHH-QXqzlI
