Evolve User Manual V1.0 by XDynamics Limited
The electronic compass on the Evolve drone is used to determine the direction the drone is pointing
in reference to true north. The compass is a sensitive sensor that is affected by electromagnetic
interference from sources such as radio towers and high voltage power lines. The compass can give
false readings if the drone is placed over a surface composed of metal or there is metal under the
surface, such as rebar under concrete. If a compass error occurs simply relocate the drone in a different
location until the metal interference is gone. If relocating the drone does not clear the compass error or
if the smart pilot APP requires a compass calibration follow the steps below.
1. For safety remove the propellers from the drone
2. Make sure the GS and drone are powered on and connected
3. Navigate to the compass calibration page on the smart pilot APP
4. Press “start” on the compass calibration page
5. Follow the on screen instructions to rotate the drone on the proper plane
6. Listen for a tone during rotation and after each tone stop and proceed with the next rotation
until complete
7. When complete the APP will indicate calibration success or failed
8. If failed recycle the drone and controller power and restart at Step 1
