- Check If The GPS Module Is Powered On Properly. The Green [LED] Should Be On Constantly After Power On.
- Check If Tx And Rx Are Crossed Connected With The Flight Controller.
Compass Calibration
The GPS of the upgraded kit comes with a compass. Although the Rescue Mode of BF Flight Controller does not require the compass, having a compass can make it easier for pilots to identify the flight direction on the OSD screen. Players who need it can turn on the compass in the BF Configuration Menu. After turning on the slider, click Save and Restart. If the connection is normal, the yellow icon above will light up normally.
- [Description: BF Configurator settings for Gyro, Accelerometer, Barometer, and Magnetometer are shown, with options to enable them.]
- After setting the compass direction to CW 180°FLIP and saving, you will need to calibrate it. Perform the following steps in an open area away from strong magnetic interference. On the Settings page, click 'Calibrate Magnetometer' and follow the prompts. Within 30 seconds, rotate the drone 360° in all directions, such as a horizontal rotation of 360°, a nose-up rotation of 360°, and a nose-down rotation of 360°.
- After calibration, restart the flight controller and align the drone's nose with the true north direction. At this point, observe if the heading value is around 0°. If the deviation is within 10°, it is generally acceptable considering the presence of various errors and interferences. If the deviation is significant, it may be necessary to recalibrate or check if the installation direction and configuration parameters are correct.
