compass

Headache No1. :banghead:

Just trying to calibrate compass on Pixhawk with gps on an extended mast but not having any success as I keep getting compass off sets to high.
I have done 3 calibrations in different locations but the results are almost identical:
123-321-484
125-315-484
125-306-476.
Any ideas folks?

Tried to do a compassmot  to check interference but nothing is registering on the software in mission planner.

Hope someone can help.

     Cheers,

             Paul

    I remember hearing that the Pixhawk compass offsets are normally much higher than the APM. Maybe someone else can tell us what the normal offset range is. Maybe it's in the wiki, I haven't looked.

      Thanks iskess I will have a more detailed look at the wiki site to see if it gives more info.
      Thanks.
