How to do? As title really...
Lately loads and loads of people are getting the warning "message strong interference, be carefull when flying long distances".
Now whilst it doesn't seem to affect flight, it is frustrating and always in the back of your mind. A small minority of people seem to have fixed it, but largely most of us still struggle..
So I have had just a couple of emails to DJI Support, and how it is left for now is that they want a screen shot of my IMU calibration page to check the compass mods.. So he interference is with the compass..
In one of the 1st emails DJI told me this and told me to do a compass calibration, and I told them I have done a couple already, but then this got me thinking.... What if the compass is sensitive and maybe carrying out the calibration really does have to be quite near on perfect - now im not talking about the way you hold the aircraft or the way you spin, im talking about location and what is around you at the time that could possibly affect it...
SO......
How do you make sure you get a very good compass calibration????
I cant think where to go to do my next calibration, One thing I do know is I will get someone to hold my remote and iphone so I can stand a good 10ft or so away to eliminate that as a bad cause.
But what else?? Concrete? Power lines? Metal object?
It seems you need a padded cell outdoors to get a good calibration
