Compass calibration - bad fit, using previous
#5
Omg, I am so ashamed. I just realized there was an external GPS antenna mounted (MAGNETICALLY) on the case. The magnet seems very powerful, when I hold it even 50 cm from the casing, it will be visible on the 3d plot. 

I have now (at home) tried some calibration just by moving the prototype casing around it's own axis and heeling and pitching a bit, now I have these results:

Don't know what this notification means "fit found field outside of normal earth". Is this good?

I will start calibration over again on the boat for more real results.

I hope this was the only cause, any power lines have been fitted with the rule of 2cm per amp.
I am however looking very much forward to the next pypilot version, curious about the improved display!

I'll post the results of todays calibration and tests soon.
