Hi,
I have problems configuring Pixhawk and external GPS (Ublox Neo-M8N). I can not arm pixhawk due to "Compasses inconsistence" error message -> internal and external compasses are pointing in different directions (>45º). Calibration is well done, so the questions that can help me to debug the problem are:
- How can I get the external and internal compass direction, just to check they are different?
- When I calibrate the compass, there are 2 green bars that advance from left to right. Both in the same direction. Finally I got an offset values (x,y,z). What does these values means (I thought compass provided only the direction relative to the geographic "cardinal directions", so only 1 value)?.
- In the compass calibration the arrow in the Pixhawk and arrow in the GPS plastic enclosure are pointing at the same point (GPS cable in the back). Before disable internal compass, I would like to assure the right value in the orientation. Could someone confirm "Rotation none" is the correct value (compass menu - compass#1 box)?
- Documentation talk about compass components in "Checking Compass Orientation" section - http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-compass-setup-advanced.html. How can I read these values?
Thanks in advance
Jordi
