Hello everyone,
I was hoping for a little help and advise. I am looking for the setup and calibration instructions to set up my APM2.8 whi has an internal compass and an external GPS unit with built in compass.. Thus two compasses in total. One internal and one external. Now I know the APM mission planner software allows up to three compasses to be calibrated but the instruction the guide are a little lacking.
Assume I construct my drone and connect everything up, connect the external GPS/compass module etc .. then come to calibrate the APM and hardware etc..
I assume i need to select manual calibration.. but then what? how do I select the number of compasses?, how do I identify in compass 1 is the internal compass and compass 2 the external (or visa versa)?, and how do i set them up and calibrate them..
The reason for wanting 2 compasses is to use the GPS/compass (external) as the navigation compass and the internal soley for telemetry.
Any ideas?
Cheers
