You are right of course. However I still not sure if that (compass) was a cause of what happened. I would be very happy to have certainty of what was wrong.
And as I mentioned earlier it is quite scary if compass has priority over remote control. Personally i don't believe in it so there had to be a different fault. The drone was just meters away from me, no matter what fault occurs I would bring it down safely unless engines stops or battery die or even if compass is so serious problem the drone should land itself straight away or RTH instead of flying far off. Correct me if I am mistaken.
If compass don't work right nothing will work as the drone don't know what is East or West.
The first thing it do is to turn off GPS as it is useless if you don't know where you are heading.
It is the same as if you are lost in fog and don't know what is North or South, it wont help you if I phone you and tell you to go 45° as you don't know where it is. If the compass is not right after calibration you can newer thrust it. When you do calibration on compass you should not have any iron near you, not car keys or watch or anything which can affect the compass included your phone. |
