Compass calibration - bad fit, using previous

You should be able to verify calibration works by slowly and carefully rotating the sensors in 360 until a fix is found.  You should see a circle of dots on the screen.  You can even do this turning the sensors and pi in your hand without turning the boat to see how it works, but once it does, you will want to calibrate  by turning the boat when the sensors are fixed to it.

I've removed the GPS and went on the water again to recalibrate. It did visualize the yellow dots in a circle, gave a fix but it was the same as previous it said. Maybe I should start all calibration (also accelerometer) all over again, I didn't do the accelerometer again after removing the magnet. I'll just clear everything and try it again. Smile
