Yeah... I realized that ... AFTER.... Sorry.
I wonder how many fly-aways were connected to a phone / tablet showing the wrong direction as North? I did a flight today, and she kicked into Atti mode. It wasn't till after the flight that I realized I was flying with the new tablet I'm setting up and I had forgotten to calibrate the compass with controller attached. Of all my flights, I have only had it kick into Atti mode one other time.. hmmmm
Hi White Ox,
I am pretty sure that there is no link from phone compass to drone compass etc.
The only thing a mob device does is to show the N (this the full 360) compass indication in the go app to the actual North. N = N if mob device compass is ok calibrated.
Red arrow is data from compass drone, if both good calibrated the red arrow heading is set to the corect outers scale of the compass in the app.
I flew many times with a wrong mob device compass (un purpose, have 2 devices), just hard to interpretet where the red arrow is pointing (90 degrees off set to the left means visualize 90 degrees right to get it right), but one thing is always correct ; red arrow pointing to the center (HP) it will bring the craft back home. If ofcourse HP is set at takeoff.
Just check many video`s on YouTube ; many video`s shows incorrect compass outer scale indication, but no problem during flights.If outerscale is set OK but the red arrow doesn`t indicates the actual heading of the drone (within few degrees offset), oops be carefull and likely to get compass fail during flight
I tested several times a RTH with a wrongly mob device compass and they all went perfect, craft RTH ok.

cheers
