Compass Calibration Error

Dmize · Apr 15, 2016

I flown twice since I updated my firmware to the latest version with no problems. Today I started it up and said compass abnormal needs to calibrate. Well I tried and tried and it keep saying failed. I was out on a golf course no metal around. I tried to go and roll back my firmware but got this.

Can someone help?

Are you still seeing the message about calibrating the compass?

Dmize · Apr 15, 2016

Yes, and tried to calibrate it again at home with no lick

Did you try reinstalling the latest version of DJI GO?

I would also say hard boot your device (phone, tablet)

I tried that too, also deleted and re-downloaded the dji go app

Do you have another mobile device you can try?

Is this the culprit? It's the wire in the landing gear, looks like one of the connections popped off

That will be the cause. A new compass sensor is the cure.

Can that be fixed? Where can I get a new sensor?

Nvm I found some on Amazon. That sucks but I guess I'm glad it's something simple. I'm guessing I will have to open the bird up to hook it up?

can you resolder the wire and test

check B&H for the new compass ,

Well I tried to resolder the wire but it still wouldn't work. I have a new sensor coming so I guess I have to wait till next week which really sucks
