Magnetometer Offsets

Hari,

Some more information would be helpful. For example:

- which magnetometer you're using (sparkfun or diy drones)?

- how have you connected the mag? directly to the oilpan or via a cable?

- if you're using the sparkfun mag I hope you're using a level converter (as suggested on the wiki).

- if you're using a cable have you correctly plugged it into the "no gps" port?

- have you checked that all the soldering is ok?

- have you crashed recently?

Anyway, as mentioned on another thread, you're not getting values back from the mag so it's likely a wiring problem or a fried mag.

Hi - I had the same problem and cured it by fitting a new mag. New one worked first time.
