Hello AP Community,
I am working on the placement of an external magnetometer for a quadcopter running ArduPilot 4.0.4. Due to space constraints, I have mounted the magnetometer on the drone’s arm in a horizontal orientation.
In PosHold mode, the drone maintains a stable position without exhibiting toilet bowl behavior. Additionally, it performs well during mission plan flights planned via Mission Planner. However, upon reviewing the flight logs, I noticed some variance in sensor/compass readings in MAVGraph.
I have attached logs from two mission-planned flights for reference. Since the drone will be used for autonomous operations in the future, I would appreciate your insights on any potential concerns or improvements regarding the magnetometer placement.
Flight logs are attached inside this drive :
