Mag not working at 2,41

Posted by Mark Slater on March 13, 2012 at 5:37pm

I've been through everything I can think of, done an erase, tried calibration (where do you enter the numbers it gives ?). Tried arming the motors and spinning around then leaving for 4 mins but no matter what I do the compass still reads 30 degs off.

I even put in wrong declination figures to get north accurate but then south was way out and on rotating back north had moved !!

Help ! I can't fly like this.

    Well whatever was happening has gone away at 2.51.  I have an error of 3 degrees when facing south, this reduces to zero error as I turn to North.  I've only had 4 minutes in the air flying a quick test so no doubt the small error at south will reduce on the next flight.

    There have been no other changes between software releases so it would appear that 2.51 has fixed the problem

    Thanks all

    The calibration is automatic, once it's in the air. You shouldn't expect it to be spot on until it's been flown for a few minutes.
