hoopty replied to Antonio's discussion Problem compiling APM_Compass_Test
"The Heli.h still seems to have a reference to APM_Compass.h
In file included from ArducopterNG.cpp:216:/Heli.h:45:89: error: APM_Compass.h: No such file or directory  Since the library is not included with the RC2 It does not compile."
