Hi all

My Pinwheel T1 calibration is completely off. 

I need to recalibrate it.

Anyone has any idea how to do it?

This is a picture of the mainboard:

Most of the cheaper Chinese units can have the calibration set by shorting 2 pins on the control board.

Looks like a fairly generic board, but without the connector blocks.

Where you have all the wires bottom right of the picture, are there 2 "spare" points on the board at the top (like the 2 at the bottom) ?

You'll probably need to solder 1 wire onto each (of the top 2) and make the circuit as per the video.

On my hoverboard you hold down the power button for a while to put into calibration mode, might be worth a try?

Yep

Tried that too... also doesnt work.

Also contacted the seller and contacted the maker, no response at all...

On my EYU there was two wires attached to the board that didn't make a connection to anything. They were just stuck into a blob of glue. They had to be stripped back a little and connected together for calibration.

This is on my TG, the pic is crap but just above the blue wire you can see two pins that are not attached to anything.

Power off -> short the pins with a screwdriver -> power on. The wheel will run couple of turns to each direction and the beep continuously until you switch it off. Calibration done.

Obviously the wheel has to be leveled and not touching the ground.

Have you tried shorting the two connection points on the bottom right, in the little square below the white wire?

They look like fairly likely candidates to me.

That was the first thing I tried but no result. Thanks

That was gold! Thank you so much, I had given up on this unicycle.

Thank you all for your help
