Calibration dots

When you start SmoothBoard up you need to calibrate the image so that the wiimote knows where the pen is. To do this, you use your computer mouse to click on "Quick Calibration".

A circle with a cross in it will appear in the top left corner of the image.
As you click on the circle another one will appear in the top right corner. There are four in total. If a circle won't disappear, it is likely that either your hand is blocking the wiimote's view or the wiimote needs to be slightly shifted towards that circle.
If the circles ever seem to click themselves without you doing anything, it is highly likely that there is stray infrared light in the wiimote's view. If so, it is time to pull a curtain.
