APM 2.6 External Compass errors during calibration

Hi guys!  Sort of a noob and looking for some help.  Trying to setup my quad with APM 2.6 and 3.2 firmware and when I am trying to do a compass calibration it shows compass 1 errors and compass 2 stays at 99 the whole time.  So two questions:

1)  Is it showing 2 compass error lines because if it was APM 2.5 it could have 2 compasses?

2)  Should it be getting those errors and if not does that mean something is defective? ( Because I still have time to exchange it for another)

Oh Almost forgot.  I get the errors whether I am connected via usb cable or 3dr telemetry radio.

Thanks,

iamwally

  • hello did you solve that problem?

  • Hey!  Yeah it is okay.  compass #2 should say 99% errors and like .0x% for compass one.  From what I been told it is just seeing how close to each point it's off. Not an actual error with the unit!  I could be wrong but that was what I was told when I asked!
