Compass Setting In mission Planner

Hardware Multirotors
1

Hi,

I have an X quad and this external compass : witespyquad.gostorego.com/ublox- … plane.html the magnetometer is an hml5883l.

I doesnt manage to choose the correct settings in mission planner because these pages say opposite things :

copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/arduco … ASS_ORIENT
opposite to
copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common … rformance/

So what is the correct setting ?? Wich axis should be forward ?

Any update on this? Have the same question myself. Getting there trial and error but…

If you got it working what setting did you use?

I am having a similar problem, I hope someone has any advice. As seen in the attached video when I turn the controller 360 the readings in compass test follows for 180 degrees, then it jumps back 180 and starts over.

@okolloen,
If the HMC5883L is mounted on the top of the GPS/Compass module, then the compass rotation would be None in relation to an APM2.5/2.6 flight controller assuming that the X and Y coordinates are oriented correctly in relation to the front of the vehicle.
