Magnetometer

Hi!

 

I finally build my Arducopter and loadet 2.0.50 firmware. All seems to work fine, exept one thing:

The magnetometer is showing a wrong direction. I set the magnetic declination in the setup.

 

Is there a way to calibrate the compass or is it done automatically

 

thank you

  • HAve you turned the Arducopter around a few times and waited?

     

    The compass calibrates during the first few minutes of flight. Mine often shows a constant yawing event though the copter isn't moving. It settles down after a while though.
