We are building an autonomous sailboat and our setup is nearly finished. The servos all work, our gps works (m10-q25).
The issue is, no matter what, on land (w/o magnetic interference) and on water when its in the boat the direction the boat faces on mission planner is wrong. Its not just consistently wrong either. We are using the CubeOrange+ internal compass build into the cube.
The internal compass is typically disabled. Use an external one. The GPS module doesn’t have a compass? But that said, it should not be directionally incorrect only more susceptible to noise.
the GPS module does have a compass but the direction keeps using the internal compass even when its disabled and the external compass is enabled (our gps’s magnometer)
That doesn’t make much sense. Attach a parameter file, lets see how it’s configured. Or if it arms attach a link to a .bin log file; it’s more useful and the parameters can be extracted from it.
