Physically Rotating Board

Hi All

With my current set up, the USB s in the bottom right (white pieces) of the board and it would work much better for me at the top left (black pieces).

Obviously physically rotating the board 180 degrees and swapping the pieces is the solution but I can't spot a rotation option (flipping the board doesn't achieve this).

I've read mention of a physical rotation setting but can't spot where it is - is it a config setting.

I've a suspicion I'm being a bit stupid and it may be a combination of flip and 'use current position' but I can't get it and the display to marry up.

Any suggestion appreciated.

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris

Most important thing is doing calibration with white on bottom side ( i call bottom the usb side) So make calibration just once with white on bottom side usb on your right. Do not need to make another calibration if you want to play with black. Just make once. After that easier thing is

If you have usb on right if you want to play with black on your side (which i call bottom side or usb side) you just place black piece and click flip board so the sides will be flipped via software. if you do the calibration with the black on the bottom the black will be idetnified like white and you will be confused.

So just make calibration once with white on bottom and then flip option to physically place the black on bottom. If you want to use the current position the white side is always the bottom one if you combine this with flip option the bottom side is the black.

All the best

Pietro
