"I also don't know if this helps, but here are the compass offsets from the mission planner.
COMPASS_OFS_X
50.65628
-400 400
Offset to be added to the compass x-axis values to compensate for metal in the frame
COMPASS_OFS_Y
-14.6096
-400 400…"

"quick edit, the first screenshot was where I held the device parallel to the ground, the second screenshot was when I oriented it to try to maximize the z axis but ended up with a magnetic magnitude vector of almost 0."
Hey everyone. I bought the external compass/mag and I think the magnetometer is bad. (using apm 2.5, firmware v3.1.5 traditional heli and I've cut the line on the apm 2.5 to enable external compass). The Z axis on the magnetometer seems to be 'near…
"Excellent article! Thanks! I wish I had this two years ago :)"
"Excellent! Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot and see how it works."
Hey, does anyone know a simple algorithm for fusing GPS (position (and maybe velocity)) with INS (accelerometer) data? I say simple because the Extended Kalman filter articles I see all over the place are all to hard for my brain to comprehend. I've…

Hey everyone, I ordered the APM 2.5 with the Ublox (Lea-6H) GPS module, and I am writing my own custom code (C++ using AVR Studio) to integrate with the hardware on the APM. So far, I have successfully integrated with the Barometer, IMU (gyro,…
