  hi, im not very versed on these forums but i was told to come ask a question here. i have an iris+  i just did latest 3.2.1 update so i did a compas calibration as well again i must have done it 10 times already . first off when done i click ok and some mag numbers come up  such as 9-120-11  these numbers are just off my head not realistic then i click ok and another set of 3 numbers pops up   one of those numbers is of about 543  now i understand that none of these numbers should be above 250 if im reading that right?  what makes this more confusing is i go update a apm 2.6 and do comp cal on that as well ( now this is a wing platform this time..... and i only get one set of mag  numbers  xx-xx-xx  . i dont know if thats a good thing or because its a 2.6 or because its a total different platform.  so confused on whats right and wrong. Screenshot%202015-02-21%2021.49.28.pngScreenshot%202015-02-21%2021.49.35.png  these are off my iris+

  Chip -- you are leaving comments on the "Comment Wall" section of the DIYDrones forum, which is not a great place to ask questions.  (If I were king, it would be disabled.  There is the ability to start a discussion here in the DIYDrones IRIS forum by clicking the "+add a discussion" button.  This makes a thread that is easier to see.  There is also the official 3DRobotics forums at http://ardupilot.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=48  

  The most active IRIS+ community seems is on FaceBook.  There is a FaceBook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3DRIRIS/  I also wish the discussion area here, or at the 3DR Robotics forum were more active because the FaceBook group, while full of helpful people, is not great software for following specific threads.

  Chip, if you are trying to figure out whether your compass calibration is proper: rotate the Iris and see if the compass readings (from APM, mission planner, or droidplanner) make sense, e.g. 4 main directions are 90 degrees to each other.

  Hi Chip, that all depends on where you are in the world.  Trying performing the compass calibration within mission planner and it should take care of that for you.

  Thank You.

  8.1 is blocking the port it needs to download the firmware code.  Please open a discussion next time instead of using this comment.

  Hi ,

  I'm trying to use Mission Planner 1.3.15 on Windows 8.1 to load ArduCopter 3.2 on my IRIS.

   When I select ArduCopter V3.2 Quad, I get this error:

  thanks.
