Gyroscope (GYRO) and Accelerometer (ACCEL) calibrations have to be performed with a static, unmoved system. The magnetometer calibration needs to be performed while moving the device.</span></p><p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:12pt;"><br /></p><p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:16pt;">Magnetometer Calibration</span></p><p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:16pt;"><br /></p><p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:12pt;">Carefully follow the instructions. Click on MAG to start the calibration. Watch the communication console for further instructions (Available through Main Menu -> Tool Widgets -> Communication Console). Do not calibrate the vehicle in vincinity of metal, e.g. from a table or chair. Start the calibration, leave the system unmoved on the table. Wait for the double beep. Next move the system in a figure eight, roll and pitch it strongly, rotate around all axes and perform the figure eight also upside-down. The calibration is finished after the triple beep.</span></p><p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:12pt;"><br /></p><p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:16pt;">Accelerometer Calibration</span></p><p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:16pt;"><br /></p><p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><span style=" font-family:'Lucida Grande'; font-size:12pt;">Put the system on an absolutely level surface and press ACCEL, wait for the the triple beep.
