I received a magnetometer last month and soldered it to my IMU instead using a cable. I've calibrated it until the offsets stopped changing but every time I fly it I get a twitching left and right. Sometimes even a 180° turn and I will have to turn i

By now I got my quadcopter flying very nice in stable mode.
I want to process now to the altitude and position hold mode and would like to know a bit more about the PID settings.
Are the PID values for position hold close to the ones for stable mode?
I've tried all the available versions of the code and the roll is always inverted. When I turn right, for exemple, the log file and the ground station show that I'm turning left.
Is there a special configuration I have to do to invert the roll?
Note
