I found something quite confusing last night:
If I hold the sensor 'right side up' (as I see it) and calibrate, the broad side of the sensor board is pointing forward (x-axis), and tilt compensation seems to work reasonably OK.
If I flip the thing so its upside down, the narrow side becomes the forward pointing side, and tilt compensation gets wacky, really bad tilting to starboard, ok-ish tilting to port.
What gives with the 90 degree rotation of the x-axis? This seems to indicate that tilt compensation is less well performed when pitching (as opposed to heeling).Understandable, as heel is normally much stringer than trim but still- huh???
Anyone with a better understanding of PyPilot that can elaborate? Thanks again!
