I'm having a problem with a Pixhawk that came with a 3DR DIY 4X kit. APM Planner is reporting "Bad Compass Health". The compass is an external uBlox GPS combo that came with the kit.
I've tried several solutions that include,
-running APM Planner with the quad outdoors with a clear view of the sky,
-repositioning the GPS/compass antenna further away from the frame
-swapping the 3DR provided GPS/compass combo with a Ublox M8N that I had laying around,
-installing ArduPlane on the Quadcopter, then reinstalling ArduCopter-quad, and
-inserting a new sdcard.
None of these have provided resolution.
I have two other quads with Pixhawks, (one is a genuine 3DR, the other is a BangGood knockoff) and I had not encountered this error with either. Here is a picture from MissionPlanner of the compass settings. Any suggestions as to what might be the issue here? Thanks in advance...

Okay- just tried that w/no luck. My other quadcopter does have #2 checked. I just plugged it in to MP and compass is working fine (I'm in a building).
The only difference that I can see in the two configs is that in the working quad, "Onboard Mag Calibration" on the compass tab has a blank dropdown box, whereas on the quad with the compass problems this box is active and shows "Default" selected. I have tried the other sensitivity settings with no success.

I'd start by un-checking compass #2 and compass #3 then repeat calibration.
There are no Devs here anymore...
