ArduCopter 2.0.30: can't get compass to work

I have upgraded my ArduCopter from ArduPiratesNG to ArduCopter 2.0.30 (installed via the MissionPlanner). Everything seems to work, except from the compass.

I used to have the compass connected via a cable, but now I have soldered it onto the shield as adviced by the wiki. However, I can't get it working!

This is the output from CLI->test->compass:

Heading: 2, XYZ: 0, 0, 0, XYZoff: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00

Note that I have entered a declination of 2 degrees.

Any tips?

They have made some changes in compass to detect what type you have, maybe there is a bug? The 5883 is new and better.

If I need to replace the compass: what's the difference between those to compasses:
