Does position hold imply heading hold?

Posted by Christopher Williams on April 3, 2011 at 2:49pm

Hi guys,  I'm running the latest release ArduPirates NG code and have a question about the compass.  I've noticed that while in position hold mode the heading seems to drift.  The copter does keep within a pretty tight (3-5 meter) circle however it still seems like the yaw is drifting.  Is this normal or should the heading stay locked?  

 

I have verified that the compass is working correctly in the configurator.

 

Thanks,

-Chris

    it should not drift

    check if your radio yaw channel is reading exactly 1500
