Apm mini pro compass problems

Posted by Tim on August 30, 2015 at 1:14pm
HiI can't get mission planner to recognise the compass and gps module when attached to the new Apm mini pro board. Is there a jumper that needs soldering or has it an internal compass?It seems that the unit is working and I have power to my gps unit?.

    I you are using the correct cables and plugging in the correct (i2c) port, the only problem I have seen in over 200 builds is with the cable not fully inserted. (There is no need to disable the internal compass.) This link (http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/2015-NEW-MINI-APM-PRO-Flight_...) shows how to make the connections.

    If it's anything like the apm mini, the internal compass jumper (JP1) needs to be cut using a sharp blade.
