We perform the M600 calibration process and if I immediately arm the drone then all is fine, and I get ready to go. If I wait maybe 60 seconds, it starts showing compass errors "Compass Error. Compass direction is not the same with IMU".
We have performed calibration over and over with the same result - we have tested at differing positions - mostly about 10 meters away from a corrugated iron roof.
The drone's warning light flashes slowly between yellow and red.
Any ideas on how to fault find this.

Thanks

Most probably unhealthy IMU check this :
