Requirements for 2 fencers:
- 1 smart device with iOS or Android
- 2 Calibur pocket boxes
- Regular fencing equipment
- Only for sabre: 2 armband sets.
Let's get into it!
Gearing up
For épée and foil, there is nothing extraordinary to pay attention to while dressing up in fencing uniform. For sabre, armband sets are needed. The armbands need to be in direct contact with the fencers' skin - don't forget to put them up before the fencing jacket and lamé. We will release a separate guide for sabre in a week at this link.
We recommend using body wires and lamés that are in a good condition for the best fencing experience.
Downloading & using the app
Find the free "Calibur" app in App Store, Google Play Store or Amazon Store. After downloading it, launch it and go through the tutorial steps.
Turn on the pocket boxes by pushing the button on the side, then tap the (right or left) fencer icon:
at the bottom of your screen. The pocket box will automatically connect the closest pocket box to the respective side. After connecting, the LED on the pocket box will turn green.
After connecting both devices, you are ready to go.
Settings
To switch between disciplines, tap the weapon icon in the middle. Choosing discipline is only possible when the pocket boxes are disconnected. To disconnect the pocket boxes, tap the same button as for connecting them and then tap "disconnect", or simply turn off the pocket box by the button on the side.
Tap the icon at the bottom and in the middle of your screen to go to open the Menu, and then go to Settings to tailor the app to best fit your needs.
