In this presentation, we will go over best practices for setting up IR Calibration Vision MultiCal. This session is designed to help you achieve accurate calibration results when working with multiple robots or robots and positioners. We will walk through hardware setup recommendations, software configuration steps, and the verification process to ensure your calibration is successful.
To start, we will cover hardware considerations such as camera and target placement. You will learn how to position the camera for optimal image quality, why background contrast matters, and how to secure components to prevent movement during calibration. We will also discuss posture settings that help avoid singularity errors and ensure smooth program execution.
Next, we will move into software setup. This includes defining coordinated pairs, selecting leader and follower groups, and creating calibration programs. We will address common issues such as vision failures, unreachable positions, and singularity errors, along with practical tips for troubleshooting and retraining images.
Finally, we will review how to verify calibration results and apply them correctly. You will see how to display results, update coordinated pairs, and complete the process with a power cycle.
