6.3.3 Compass Configuration
George contains an internal RM3100 compass for heading reference. The
RM3100 delivers improved accuracy over the Cube integrated compass
and is connected via the internal i2C bus. George will automatically detect
the RM3100 and assign a DevID, no parameter changes are necessary for
the RM3100 to be properly identified.
Configure the RM3100 as primary prior to calibration.
a.
Under the “SETUP” tab in Mission Planner navigate to the “Compass”
window.
b. Move the RM3100 to compass priority one position.
c. Uncheck
the boxes for “Use Compass 2” and “Use Compass 3”
located midway down the Compass dialog.
d.
Reboot George via the “Reboot” button.
Compass orientation will be automatically set by default after calibration.
Use the appropriate orientation for your George installation. In a standard
installation the orientation would be set to None.
The RM3100 is now ready for calibration. Follow the Mission Planner
compass calibration instructions via the link below.
