Hello,
I'm having a battle with my compasses. I use pixhawk clone and M8N GPS with compass.
I'm unable to find orientation setting, where I will not have EKF compass variance errors.
I think that this is not mag interference problem because this happens when disarmed.
I've disasembled external GPS/compass puck and there are following axis markings:
x axis
z axis O------->
|
| y axis
V
My APM configuration is in the attachments, and also example values when facing north.
Do I have faulty compass? or I've tried wrong Orientation settings?

Based on the pictures I think Orient of zero is what you want.

I does not have fix as I'm indoors, and GPS antenna is pointing Up, when mounted as on one of pictures. When GPS antenna is up, compass is down. I can go out and try for GPS fix tomorrow.
See what happens when you have a GPS fix. Do you have a window you can put the copter by now and see if you can get a fix?

And this is disassembled part.
