Mag Calibration Does Not Complete in MP 1.3.2/1.3.3

Posted by Danny Thompson on May 23, 2014 at 2:27pm

Since updating Mission Planner (Windows) to 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 I and a number of my associates have not been able to complete Mag calibration. 

The new dialogue box appears when selecting Calibrate, and it rotates in sympathy with the APM 2.5/6. But no matter for how long you work it the calibrate routine does not complete.

If you abort the Calibrate routine and check the APM2.5/6 against a real compass the two tally. APM 2.5/6 is correctly indicating the points of the compass.

This issue has only arisen since 1.3.2 onwards.

      Here attached is a tlog 

      This is what he did to get the log:

      Had a look at post on DIYdrones and as they are asking for TLogs i thought i would grab some .

      uninstalled MP -> deleted MP folder -> fresh install of MP 1.3.3 .

      Started MP and selected live calibration .

      Done the compass dance again much to everyone's amusement, i generated 2300 log entries and it would still not complete .
      So i quit the calibration and went in search of tlogs , as it was a fresh install there was only one tlog , Its 2Mb in size , if i export it to a text file it becomes 12Mb

      It isn't failing ... simply isn't completing.  One of the lads has collected a tlog but cant post here. I'll pop it up in a while if he sends it to me.

      Cheers
