To lock or not to lock... - Andreas29 - 2020-10-20
Hi,
question to the theme calibration of the IMU:
What is the best?
Let the checkboxes "lock calibration" for all unticked?
Do a well ending calibration of the accelerometers and lock just this?
Do a well ending calibration of the accelerometers lock this and then do a well ending calibration of the compass and lock this?
Regards
Andreas

the lock may be useful if you often sail around magnetic anomaly. It was more useful when the calibration was less smart than it is now.

Hi,
thanks again Sean for the explanation.
so I´ll let the checkboxes for locking unticked.
