 This script enables the user to extract the raw DW1000 data from the HiveBoard/BeeBoards assembly. The test-bench will turn by a chosen stepping angle and acquire the desired amount of raw data per step.
 #### Hardware setup
 - Place a BeeBoards assembly in the middle of the test-bench. The 0deg axis of the assembly needs to point in a parallel fashion to the mounted laser pointer. 
+	- The **assembly** is described as :
+		- The BeeBoard mount
+		- The 3 wings boards
+		- The 3 USC-C cables
+		- The HiveBoard
+		- The channel used for each BeeBoard.
 - The BeeBoards have to be connected to a HiveBoard mounted to the test-bench using the same cable and ports as labeled on the assembly. If the cables and assembly are not indicated be sure to note which BeeBoards are used, plugged with which cables and in which channel on which HiveBoard. **The calibration will only be valid for this configuration and has to be completly re-performed if any of this component is changed or plugged differently.**
+- The BeeBoard assembly should be mounted as follow:
+
 - Connect power and communication interface to the HiveBoard.
+- Ensure the HiveBoard has the latest version of the [HiveMind](https://github.com/SwarmUS/HiveMind)
 - Connect a usb cable to the Arduino.
 - Connect power to the drive submodule (red = 12 V, white = ground)
 - To align the receiver with the emmiter, use the laser pointer. Each laser should point to the alignment target of the other laser assembly. This position ensures a 0 degree relative orientation between the two radio setup. 
-- The laser mount should be calibrated periodicly to ensure its position and accuracy,
+- The laser mount should be calibrated periodicly to ensure its position and accuracy.
+- Press button 0 on the emmiter to enable the continuous sending mode.
+- Ensure that nothing is between the emmiter and the BeeBoard assembly (ensure line of sight).

 `EXPORT_PDOA` : `True` will prompt the second set of plots (slopes extraction) and save the calibration result in a **pickle** format.
 #### Behavioral descriptionand user interaction
 Upon runnning the script, the first plot to appear will ask the user to select points from which to offset the whole dataset. Theoretically, the plot should represent a **sin** wave, the offset in this section will prevent the signal from wrapping over 2&pi;and under 0. If the **sin** is not wrapping, no points need to be selected, as no offset needs to be applied, simply close the plot.The points selected should then be the very bottom of a **sin** *parabola* section. Also, to obtain a better estimation of the offset needed, it is possible to select the very bottom of the *parabola*, and a top of this *parabola* that has wrapped over. Many points can be selected, the mean of the *y axis* will be used as the offset. This process has to be repeted for the number of `usedPairs` selected. Here is an exemple of the process.<br />

-Communication with the HiveBoard is done using the [Pheromones submodule](https://github.com/SwarmUS/Pheromones). If communication problems occur, ensure that the version used by the script is the same as on the HiveBoard.
