Compasses not found

Hi,

I am testing a Matek-H743 Slim + Matek GNNS M9N-5883 and I do not find the way to setup because compasses.

I just update to latest fw 4.1.0 as recommended by Matek but no way. That is what I get in Compass Setup page:

It looks like no compasses are found.

Definitely it can’t find them

Have you got the I2C wires connected correctly?
The GPS uses the serial TX/RX wires and the compass is on the I2C interface.

Well, I don’t know how, but now a compass is detected. I was surprised to read that there is no compass in this FC, so there is no way to configure it until you have run the GNSS module.

Neither the ICM-20602 or the MPU6000 have a compass.

I’m having a very similar issue. Any chance you can expand on how you fixed your issue?

Thanks

I’m sorry but I can’t tell you how it was resolved. I can only suspect that the I2C connection was not stable or the internal BEC was not supplying enough current. Finally it worked for the tests we wanted to do and this flight controller was disassembled because I didn’t like having all the connections with Dupont connectors.

No worries! Issue for me was physical connection issues so was easy to fix once I noticed.

Thanks
