Hey all,
I use a power wheelchair and just received my Phantom 4. I've read a lot about people insisting or being paranoid about compass calibration around anything that is metal. Founded or not I have no other choice since I cannot walk and my chair is one huge piece of metal and perhaps some EMI from the electronics.
DJI's tech dept. says The wheelchair could cause issues but said that if I get a successful calibration showing in the App then I will be fine. Has any one's App shown a successful compass calibration but in flight their quad acted erratically?
So...short of bringing someone else to a flying site which is not likely, what are my other options? I've considered everything from placing the P4 on a small spinning lazy susan and tying a long string to it and driving around in a large circle, OR creating a small motorized lazy susan, OR don't they sell lazy susan's for microwaves that turn on their own like a kitchen timer?
How quickly do you have to spin around? If you don't spin around fast enough will the P4 time out??
Thanks for helping me solve this dilemma!
Ideas??
Chris
