It looks like you have a 3D printer. So install GPS/Compass on longer, tower like holder.
It’s a good idea to keep angles at 45/90 deg. Calibration can only select position based on 45 deg changes.
I agree, I do not get how the automatic position selector works.It’s always Yaw180 in my case, what is wrong for sure.
“User sensor:” Asks if you want to export given compass data to output file"
“Orientation” What is expected step for position estimation. (but what Check means?)
“Existing” Asks if you want to plot current offset/calibration from your upload.
@Paul_Paku If so, then it might be the item selected doesn’t affect the sensor much.
I have did changed aligment from YAW180(4) to Yaw90Roll180(10) and do the calibration. I found the configration is automatically switched back to YAW180(4).
@xfacta As we discussed in other thread, you have mentioned “If the compass is close to the main wiring then a current monitor is essential or the compass will never work properly.”
Would please help to check if this above issue is kind of what you are saying: main wiring, current issue?
Yes, I mean the battery wiring, from the battery and to the ESCs - if the compass is anywhere near that there will be problems.
The compass will need some distance, and preferably a current sensor too.
A typical mast places the compass (and GNSS unit) about 10cm higher - which is good for both.
If that photo further back in this thread is your compass, then I’d expect it to never work properly and just give problems.
If you use a 4in1 ESC I think all of them have a current sensor, you just need to make sure it’s connected to the FC and configured correctly.
It’s a very handy for diagnostics and compass calibration.
