Question -- when upgrading firmware from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2, is accelerometer and compass calibration required again or do the prior settings hold for the new version?
Thank you
Michael
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
Why take the chance? I never upgrade without doing a full calibration. No reason not to as it is just safer to make sure everything is proper. Even if the devs say it is not needed I still do it and I will continue to do so.
I agree but was wondering if the upgrade is a patch or a full loading. Doing the full accelerometer calibration just takes more time to disconnect all cabling, remove the board, mount in another case, calibrate, remove from extra case, remount in case on the bird and reconnect everything. And I have two aircraft to do it for. Would be nice if it were like a software patch.
