magnetometers are inconsistent. Users can calibrate the aircraft with the payload attached
to solve.
If the payload is causing enough corruption that calibrating with it on does not work, contact
Freefly support for alternative solutions. {% endhint %}
Sensor Calibration Prep
1. Mount a pair of batteries onto ALTA X.
2. Plug in the batteries to power up the aircraft.
3. Open the ALTA QGroundControl and connect to ALTA X.
4. Navigate to the Sensors tab under Vehicle Setup.
5.
Available sensors are displayed as a list of buttons beside the sidebar.
Sensors marked with green are already calibrated. Sensors marked with
red require calibration prior to flight.
6.
Click on the button for each sensor to start its calibration sequence and
follow the instructions provided in the ALTA X QGroundControl.
7.
Start by selecting Set Orientations and set the autopilot orientation
1. Autopilot Orientation: ROTATION_YAW_180
2. External Compass Orientation: ROTATION_YAW_270
Compass Calibration
Follow the instructions below to perform a compass calibration on ALTA X. Compass
calibrations should be done when flying in a new location or when ALTA QGroundControl
prompts a calibration.
1. Click the Compass sensor button.
2. Click OK to start the calibration.
