heading adjustment ... when does it stop?
#11
What type of adjustments? How much is the error each time? Does locking the calibration help?

Does your moitessier hat have the metal shield over the radio? It is magnetic, test with magnet, and far too close to the compass sensors. I may have a very early moitessier hat.

Pypilot continuously computes the compass to GPS offset for GPS mode. It steers compass course plus this offset since GPS is too slow to use directly. This offset accounts for leeway, currents, and compass errors all together.
