I am completely new in this forum and i am starting with the rc electronics. i purchased a APM 2.6 and was able to successfully set up the parameters and calibrations except the compass where it shows "BAD COMPASS HEALTH". I came across to know that the APM 2.6 doesn't have a onboard compass but i wonder how the compass reading on the top of the live flight data rotates when i rotate the APM board.
Confusion :(
Does it calculate on the basis of some gyroscope measurments and its not the actual compass reading. Where does the rotation come from when there's no on-board compass and it shows "BAD COMPASS HEALTH".
