Fixing Bad Gyro Health

amyfox777 · May 15, 2021, 3:21pm

A recent resurgence of “Bad Gyro Health” messages began on our flight team. Here’s our fix:

In Mission Planner, navigate to the Full Parameter List.
Choose SCHED_LOOP_RATE.
a. Verify it is set = 400
Choose INS_USE 1, 2, 3
a. Verify they are set to 1, 2, 3, respectively.
Choose INS_ENABLE_MASK.
a. Verify it is set = 7.
b. Do not use 127 (All) setting.
Write parameters.
Refresh parameters. Reboot and test fly.

The mentioned parameters are missing. So, what to do next?

What do you mean Missing? They are certainly there in current Stable. But in any case the 400 is default and the issue with the IMU mask is fixed. So, the default settings for these parameters is correct.

Not sure why that’s necessary but here is one. Of course the other parameter is present also.

I have a pixhawk 1 using Ardupolit Rover firmware 4.0. I have the same isssue of bad Gyro Health and not able to change to any auto mode. I apply you parameters setting with no change. Does this apply to Rover Firmware? What is the answer to solve this issue?
