AMP 2.5 vs APM 2.6 Set (external compass)

Posted by Edgar Scott on August 31, 2013 at 10:23am

So now that I think I'm ready to replace my NAZA-M with an AMP I have a AMP 2.5 laying around, but Im so used to the accuracy of the external compass and wondered if I should eBay the 2.5 and get a 2.6 with external compass or are they about the same and not worth the trouble?

    I've been waiting weeks for the back ordered apm 2.6. The GPS is the culprit.

    yeah id keep the one you own cut the trace and add an external mag its a cheaper solution too, as resale will not cover swapping to the higher rev and end up costing much more

    @Edgar,

    It is very easy to cut the APM2.5 internal compass select line, per these wiki instructions:http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-external-magnetometer-for-i...  and add an external compass on the I2C port.
