M4 Emergency stop during calibration

I’m not sure what is causing your issue in this instance, I don’t see anything that stands out to me in your description of your set up. That said, I’m not versed in spotting issues in the logs yet, so someone else may see something there and report it. Looking at the end, though, it just looks like it was taking a measurement and something broke down during anchor coordinate calculations; what are you using to run calibration?

If it’s not that, this stands out to me as the machine thinking that something is ~30 mm off, then it tries to measure the first waypoint other than the starting location. It may just be that your initial frame numbers are not accurate enough and it can’t compensate for how different reality is from your rough measurements.

There is also a newer firmware available, so it would be a good idea to try that. It appears you have v0.79 from the console log you shared. The version you have is able to complete calibration, of course, newer has just generally had higher success rates, may “power through” whatever issue you’re having by nature of just being better.

I don’t know if any of the below will be helpful to you in this instance, but it’s the general calibration advice I’ve assembled since I ran my own and have been soaking up conversations here on the forum.

The device you are controlling the maslow from is the device providing the processing power for calibration and it needs to be connected at all times so that the data the maslow is recording when it takes measurements is processed properly.

I highly recommend using the most powerful machine you can for calibration. e.g. If you have a gaming laptop, for instance, it would be much faster during the calculations than a basic office laptop that would normally be fine for driving the maslow, and worlds faster than a tablet (which would also be fine for driving the maslow, normally).

Secondarily, it would also likely be prudent to directly connect to the maslow rather than having it on your home wifi (if you have it on your wifi) for calibration, as it can be much more reliable. On top of this, I would set your laptop’s power plan to not shut off or go to sleep while plugged in, and then remember to plug it in while you calibrate so you don’t have disconnects from that end.
