I've looked at the support.pdf file and noticed something unexpected.
The front led seems to be above the two side ones. It is on mine, but only by a few milimeters and that PDF doesn't give a measurement for that.
As the setup tab in v2 asks for this information, I'm assuming it's quite important.

So, it got me wondering, is there an ideal 4 point setup? In other words, what distances between all of the LEDs is best for the software?

Thanks

Hello Tankbuster

With FT 2.1 near completion , you may want to go for a 3point cap build , instead of a 4point cap.

If my memory doesn't fail me , beginning at FT2.1, standard settings will be :
- 3point clip
- 3point cap
- 1point

the 4point cap setting will be maintained only for backward compatibility with existing hardware.

Here are "standard" measurement for 3points cap :

Babasior told in another thread you can also go for a 4led setup , as described in the PDF file, and just omit the low center led.

As it happens, I'm in the process of building another cap so maybe I'll go for 3 points this time.
