Compass offset 0 0 0

Posted by Matthew Mullesch on April 3, 2014 at 7:34am

Hello!

I am new to the hobby and have recently built my first quadrotor equipped with a PixHawk

After calibrating the compass with the Live Calibration in mission planner it sets the offsets to 0 0 0. On the flight data screen, the orientation of my vehicle is incorrect on the map. This is a brand new pixhawk, could I have a bad compass on board? I have ran the calibration a dozen times or so with the same result. One time it set the offsets to 1 1 1. Any help is appreciated!!

    again is there a solution to this problem? is it to use APM 2.0 instead?

      I have not tried in the higher versions of Mission Planner, but if you have a problem, use APM Planner 2.0

    Ok, I think it's a bug in mission planner 1.2.99. I have calibrated the compass in APM Planner 2 and already have different values ​​of 0 0 0, that is something I was acostubrando see.

    Greetings.
