Your Marty needs to know where all its joints are to be able to move around properly

A well calibrated Marty will be able to walk, dance and turn around with ease - but a poorly calibrated one will be wobbly, and might stop moving if its joints hit itself.

Luckily, calibration is quite straightforward! You can use the Marty the Robot app, or our web based calibration tool

Here is a short video that shows how to calibrate Marty:

===== Using the App =====

 If you don't already have it, download the Marty the Robot app from the Android or iOS store.

  - Open the Marty the Robot app
  - If [[martyv1:getting_started:wifi-setup:connect-marty-to-a-wifi-network|Marty is connected to your WiFi network]] or a [[martyv1:getting_started:wifi-setup:command-hub-wifi|command hub]], select scan for Martys
  - Click the Calibrate button in the app
  - The app will connect to your Marty and activate it
  - Follow the instructions on the screen!
    - You'll use the slider on the screen to make Marty's eyebrows flat
    - Then you'll gently push Marty's joints until Marty is standing straight
    - Click save and you'll have a chance to test your Marty's walk
