Declination in arducopterNG = Correction in ardupirateNG

Hi!

 

I'm trying to change my loaded code from arducopterNG TO ardupirateNG.

 

In the arducopterNG, there is a need to put in declination to compensate for magnetic behavior experienced at local copter location.

 

// Declination is a correction factor between North Pole and real magnetic North. This is different on every location
// IF you want to use really accurate headholding and future navigation features, you should update this
// You can check Declination to your location from http://www.magnetic-declination.com/
#define DECLINATION 0.33

 

In the Online Universal Ardu Configurator right below the magnetometer orientation is the field for correction ... Is this CORRECTION field the same as DECLINATION?

Thanks.

  • Yes. If you notice once you download your config file with the online config, go look at the declination. It will be changed.
