Hello:
I have an ArduIMU+ v2, with a DIYDrones GS407 and breakout board (basic). I am supplying power to the ArduIMU+ with a 7.2V LiPo battery. I think the ArduIMU is mostly working as it is able to read its own sensors and it talks to an HMC5843

Read more…Hi Doug
I have an understanding problem with tuning the PID's.
I followed your instructions in the manual.
I adjusted the servo_roll P to 1.2 and the plane acts very crisp as in manual. But 45° angle is achived by maybe 30% stick input.
With this setting

I am trying to understand how to obtain a heading angle from 3D magnetometer like HMC5843. When I look at compass.cpp in AP_Compass library, I can't get how roll and pitch angles are used to compensate compass measurements.

During my last flight I remember that the arducopter kept on yaw-ing randomly (not strong yaw), it was a windy day...
It yawed both in GPS hold and in non-GPS hold modes.
should it do that ?
is there any way or mode in which it keeps the heading fi
