Randy replied to Antonio's discussion Problem compiling APM_Compass_Test
"yes, sorry, i noticed that as well and will fix it very soon.  You can just change the reference in Heli.h from APM_Compass.h to AP_Compass.h and it should work.   I guess you really are loading the code into a helicopter so you've…"

"The Heli.h still seems to have a reference to APM_Compass.h In file included from ArducopterNG.cpp:216:/Heli.h:45:89: error: APM_Compass.h: No such file or directory  Since the library is not included with the RC2 It does not compile."

Antonio replied to Neil Smith's discussion Does RC1 support X configuration
"In RC1 you can switch between + and X with just a one line code change the frame stays the same but its not clear whether they have kept that approach for NG.  The mode change is now done on a switch.  If you set the switch to up for X…"

Antonio replied to Neil Smith's discussion Does RC1 support X configuration
"Hi, just a quick question getting back to topic.  Is the orientation of the APM in NG the same as it was in Beta, i know the mode is now chosen by dip switch one 1 (X mode is up).  Is the APM pointing between arms or looking down one arm…"

Randy replied to Antonio's discussion Problem compiling APM_Compass_Test
"Hey Antonio, the offset numbers definitely should not change depending upon where you stop the rotation. The way the sketch works is as you're waving the compass around it records the min and max for each axis. Then it just displays -(max +…"
