Compass Performance Degraded

[3dMB (Marcus)]

A quick bench test with cockpit. When I arm the ROV I have a warning stating “Compass Performance Degraded”.

I tried to re-cal the compass in QGC which worked happily, yet still the “Compass Performance Degraded” warning persists.

I am running all latest firmware, software and BlueOS.

Any ideas? This ROV is only 8 or 9 months old, surely the compass cannot be knackered already?!

Hi @3dMB -
Sorry for the issue

The newest firmware versions set the magnetic compass declination based on the position in the world! To set this, adjust the autopilot parameters for ORIGIN_LAT and ORIGIN_LON to your approximate GPS location, only one or two decimals of precision are required (e.g. 22.3 N -118.32 W)

Thanks Tony.
