Dryfire Calibration Mode - MARS Mobile

https://crackshot.tv/calibration-mode-with-mars-mobile/

The calibration mode is primarily intended if you’re have issues with MARS Mobile picking up your laser dryfire device. MARS mobile should work fine out of box for most people. MARS mobile was developed using a Google Pixel 5 and a SIRT 110 training pistol. Because camera hardware, lighting conditions, and even the laser devices themselves have infinite variation, it isn’t possible for us to test compatibility with ever phone model. The calibrate laser mode may be necessary depending on what hardware you’re using. For this reason, the calibrate mode is also available in the free version of MARS Mobile so that you can ensure the app will work for your training needs before buying.

If MARS works well for you with base settings, we don’t recommend changing anything. Similarly, the ideal setup for MARS mobile is to not place targets near windows, where light from the outside will be covering the targets, or any bright light sources might be shining on the target. The reason for this is that phone cameras will attempt to compensate for bright lighting conditions be reducing the light, making the laser more difficult to see. So if you’re having trouble with MARS mobile not detecting your laser, try to close blinds or turn off ambient lighting as it may be drowning out the laser from the phone’s camera.

Still yet, the calibrate mode allows you to adjust sensitivity up or down. Sliding the slider to the right will increase sensitivity, sliding to the left will decrease sensitivity. If you’re getting false positive hits, you might try decreasing sensitivity. If your laser isn’t being picked up, you’ll need to increase sensitivity. We’ve also built in an auto adjust function that will attempt to calibrate the app specific to your lighting environment. Simply press the button to auto adjust.

In the calibration mode, you can shoot at any of the targets so that you can confirm your sensitivity setting is ideal for your training environment. If MARS is still is having trouble consistently picking up your shots, you may need to close blinds, turn off artificial lights, or move your training environment to an area of your home that is a little darker.
