Micro scanning mirrors (MSM) extend the range and field of view of LiDARs, medical imaging devices, and laser projectors. However, a new class of soft-hinged MSMs contains out-of-plane translation in addition to the 2 degree-of-freedom rotations, which presents a cabliration challenge. We report a new calibration system and algorithm design to address the challenge. In the calibration system, a new low-cost calibration rig design employs a minimal 2-laser beam approach. The new new algorithm builds on the reflection principle and an optimization approach to precisely measure MSM poses. To establish the mapping between Hall sensor readings and MSM poses, we propose a self-synchronizing periodicity-based model fitting calibration approach. We achieve an MSM poses estimation accuracy of 0.020{\deg} with a standard deviation of 0.011{\deg}.
