No error on heading vector error gauge in magnetometer calibration

jarl93rsa

I've added a magnetometer to help with yaw drift, no settings seem to make any difference to the slow yaw drift, mag is calibrated as per instructions, all on +/- 1, however I notice the gauge that shows heading vector error in the calibration helper always shows 0, is it normal to have absolutely 0 error ? Seems like the magnetometer isnt being used at all

Hello,

The crucial parameter is "Hardware" - "Heading correction factor". Check that it is set to non-zero. The recommended value is 50-70.

Thanks for the reply,
There is no "heading correction factor" in my GUI, only a "magnetometer trust" , which ive set everywhere from 1 to 100, but without any difference

Just realised there was a 2.68 of the gui, and heading correction factor is there, but it was set to 100, anyway ill update and retest

connection dropped out when uploading new firmware and it bricked the board, how do you reflash it when this happens?

Older 32-bit non extended board looks like its using the mag properley though

Howdy, Stranger!
