Magnetometer, or no?

Just looking for opinions. I understand that the magnetometer is supported on APM, and after some reading on what it does and how it is implemented, it is the technologically superior solution to heading and yaw calculations.

 

But on a plane like an Easy or a Hawk Sky, does it really make any appreciable difference?

  • I have the 2 tube pitot and sensor I got from the 3dr store about a year ago. Can't find in the wiki anything about setting it up. Just how to connect it to the APM1.4 and how to install the single combo pitot. I have the tube with the little holes in it plugged into the lower part on the sensor. Part nearest circuit board. Other tube without holes in top port. Is that right? Also do I place both pitots outside the plane?

  • This was exactly the question i was looking to get answered.

    Unless you are trying to do very precise navigation, then no.
