Hi,

Is this method of Onboard Compass Calibration recommended for the Pixhawk 2.1 ? Can’t find
any mention of it either in the Ardupilot docs on compass calibration (using only the RC)

thanks in advance

This is something that I didn’t know existed, so I tested it and it works in 3.5.2… No more USB tangles for me!!!

You will get a much better result using Magfit.
