Pypilot compass calibration getting lost

Yes, there are only a few gains, I would just take note of them, and try the new version if possible on a different sd card to make it easy to switch back.

Downloaded image to new sd card.

Made copies of everything in .pypilot  on both old and new.

For testing just turned tinypilot to calibrate compass. Know it's not quite right but got reasonable readings. With new image calibration persisted over restarts.

Stopped pypilot process when changing pypilot.conf

Copied old pypilot.conf  to new image. Calibration did not persist. Compared the two config.cfg files.

Merged the 2 files. Keeping my settings that I set.

Now it seems to work properly.
I thought there was a missing imu setting on the old but looking at the files on my laptop they are different but all there.
I'll double check the copies on the tinypilot tomorrow. 

It did not like settings for rudder position. Re-calibrated and its OK now.
