Re: Red leds in the center of the device - 3 or 4

wow, those LED's are bright. Are they supposed to be that bright? Mine are barely visable in a lighted room. Is that the camera which is making them look so bright?

Re: Centering problems with TIR4

<t>Klemi,<br/> <br/> Hopefully i can help a bit. Im new to TIR4 but what your saying makes sense. Have you tried some of the troubleshooting steps that Rick suggested?
