Click to expand...

I've cleaned up the Germanglish text version of how to do the calibration, hope this makes things a little clearer...

1.Pull back (down) on the Elevator (nick) stick and at the same time Full Throttle (up) with Rudder left (There will be One long Beep).

2.Move the Elevator/Nick stick to bottom to go into Step 2 of the calibration (the clicking sound starts, on older firmware versions there will be no clicking sound)

3.Rotate the MikroKopter a few times around the tilt (Nick) axis (which is defined by the direction the arrow on the FC is pointing) and with axis orientation (arrow direction) facing in a North / South direction until the buzzer stops beeping

4.Rotate the MikroKopter a few times around the roll axis (with axis orientation in a North / South direction) until the buzzer stops beeping

5.Pull the Elevator/Nick stick down to move from Step 2 to Step 3

6. 8.Once again, pull the Elevator/Nick stick down to start the Z-axis calibration (Step 4)

7.Rotate the MikroKopter a few times in direction of either the roll or nick axis (with axis orientation to North / South) until the buzzer stops beeping

8.Pull the Elevator/Nick stick down -> end of the calibration and store the calibration data

You should now have a green led on the navi and there should be no compass error repported in MKtool.

If you have a Navi board with the MK3Mag built in it will not make the clicking sound, this calibration method will still work.

Good Ole Holger!

I know that it is popular around here to bash MikroKopter and I have to say that they do provide grounds for it - I experienced first hand the quality control problem with a couple of their boards with my very first purchase - but I at least Holger is still beavering away on the software. With the recent exception of the strange FW0.86 temperature business (which has not been totally resolved as far as I know) I have faith in his work.

Nice to see that feature added.. In an emergency at least you will get the copter back just hope the landing can be smoothed out a bit.. but yes nice to see them actively posting up and coming features which is a total change in policy for MK
