Your Krait is flashed with new firmware now. Usually it is not necessary to make calibration after that, but sometimes this can happen.



Calibration procedure:

Calibration is quite straightforward, but you will need a multimeter:


1.Power off module. Power On while holding SET button.
2. You will see a calibration page with channel number (1), reference voltage (-5v) and associated output value. Connect the multimeter to channel 1. Rotate pot and use <> buttons for fine tune until you get -5v on the multimeter. Press the big button to confirm and go to the next step. Now rotate the pot until you get 0v on the multimeter. Press the big button again and rotate the pot to get +5v. Press the big button, reconnect the multimeter to channel 2 and repeat the steps above. Then connect to 3 channels and repeat.
