Can't calibrate accelerometer

Posted by Niall Woodward on July 17, 2014 at 5:58am

Hi everyone

I'm currently trying to setup an APM 2.6 for my tricopter. I've flashed the firmware, but can't calibrate the accelerometer. I've checked and found the 3.3v regulator is working, but for some reason it's just not calibrating.

Can anyone help?

Edit: Also whenever I look at the flight data artificial horizon, it just drifts about and just responds weirdly to any movement of the apm.

    Did you try to erase the board and reload default parameters and start over.

      I've tried flashing 2.9.1 and it still doesn't work! I'm sorting out getting a replacement sent, as I can only assume it's a poorly soldered accelerometer or that it's dead.

    Any help on this? Or is the solution to replace the board.
