Aurdupilot 2.6.2No SheildIMU v2 code1.7 with baro and magnetometerGCS Beta 2#define GCS_PROTOCOL 0My heading reference (course / yaw) that is being down loaded as 0 to 180 deg on the eastern heading and on the western heading it is -1 to -179. This negative course is screwing up the Ground control station that Iam running . When I have just the IMU baro mag GPS combination plugged into the IMU test software the heading reference is good on both east and west headings. I think the Ground control software is not converting the negative heading into a 360 deg output. Both the course needle and heading needle work correctly on the eastern heading but not on the western headings. On the western heading the course needle just goes to north and stays there until the heading is back in the eastern hemisphere. I find it a really good tool in the field to watch both of these needs and the AH to help set up my gains.

Mike,
I agree. I use these course / bearing needles and AH in the field to help visually tune in my gains but can only use them on eastern heading. If could be fixed great but eather way I can Live with it.

I have the same thing, i wouldnt worry too much about it, its a mathmatical oversight in the way that LV reads and displays the data.
If it turns out to be a real problem for you, i will correct it (as im sure that Auto is fairly busy on APM)
but in personel experience, its only GCS not AP so not a biggie..
Mike.
