experiencing a consistent issue with AC3.2.1 in AUTO mode where the desired yaw is always 5-10 degrees of from the actual yaw when flying on a straight line, so when filming it never points straight ahead. I know its not the wind because regardless of heading direction is always off to the left only, for some reason.

I have redone compass motor offsets and compass calibrations and doesnt seem to matter...the heading setting is set to point towards next waypoint....any ideas why this is happening? its pretty annoying because my filming of long agricultural fields is always crooked to the left!!!

log file attached....

  • i disabled external compass and no improvement, redid compass cal and no improvement....upgraded to AC3.3rc10 and it seems to be ok now, you go figure.....kinda still worries me

  • Have you tried turning mag2 off and vice versa?

    • no i have not but I can try, is that safe to do?

      • I dont see why it should not work, i have some 450 sized only using internal compas.
