So I've had my P3P for a few weeks, and haven't flown it much at all yet, weather and life getting in the way... but I have a quick question on compass calibration (and not the usual question... lol...)
So when I fired up the P3P for the first time, of course it said the compass needs to be calibrated. So I went in my back yard and did the "DJI Dance" and it completed fine. I couldn't fly because rain was due. fast-forward a week and I was finally ready to fly. I have a ballfield across the street from my house. So when I fired everything up, it said I needed to calibrate again, so i did, and it completed.
Yesterday I got an NVidia K1 tablet, and installed DJI GO. I fired up everything just to make sure the app worked and all that... and what do you think I saw?? Yup, compass needed calibration again. I didn't do it because it was really late when I got everything together.
So why does it keep asking me to calibrate? The first 2 times I was using DJI GO on my iPhone 6+, and last night it was the tablet. Is the calibration setting stored in the device somewhere? I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to break it out today, but I'll try, and I'll calibrate to see what happens. It's just weird that for the 3 times I turned it on it says I need to calibrate...
