Hello,
I’ve flown my pixhawk about a dozen times so far with no issues. This evening I installed the new mission planner software and 3.1.2 firmware. After installing the firmware, I realized I had to calibrate everything again. Everything calibrated fine and I even did a quick test flight in my living room which worked.
After all the basic calibrations, I performed a compassmot using telemetry. When Compass mot completed It said I had 0% interference (which was surprising although I have my GPS on a short stand). Last time I had 5% interference.
After that, I disconnected from CLI and reconnected to mission planner. I noticed that my heading and horizon is continually drifting and won’t stay level anymore. I tried running Live Calibration again but it said 0 samples were collected and I wasn’t able to complete it. I’ve tried running live calibration several times unsuccessfully (both with telemetry and connected via USB).
Next I tried reinstalling the old Firmware. Same issue. Won’t calibrate compass anymore.
Here is what the Client shows under Setup / Compass:
Op: [on,off]
Compass
enabled
Mag Dec: 11.9075
Mag off: -132.9440, 45.6021, 61.6105
Motor Comp: Current
Comp Vec: nan, -1.50, -0.58
Is there an easy way to see if my external compass is working? I’m wondering if I accidentally broke my compass cable perhaps? Is it possible that running compassmot would have messed something up?
If you need more information/clarifications/pictures let me know.
Thanks,
Chris
