Completing the J100 Magnetic Compass Calibration

If you encounter the "Compass Calibration Parameter List" error, here's the solution!


1. Preparation Steps

  • Secure the Props:

    • Fasten the propellers to the drone arms using prop straps and zip ties.

    • Importance: Prevents props from moving during calibration, avoiding potential damage or injury.

2. Starting the Calibration Process

  • Access Settings:

    • Navigate to the Settings tab located in the top right corner of the interface.

  • Select Compass Calibration:

    • Scroll down to find the Compass calibration option.

  • Initiate Calibration:

    • Click on "Start calibration" to begin the process.

3. Performing the Calibration

  • Lift the Drone:

    • Once calibration preparation is complete, lift the drone off the ground.

  • Horizontal Calibration:

    • Spin the drone in a counterclockwise motion.

    • Monitor the calibration percentage until it reaches 50%.

  • Vertical Calibration:

    • Stop horizontal motion and flip the drone to calibrate vertically.

    • Continue spinning in a counterclockwise motion until calibration is complete.

4. Completion

  • Calibration Success:

    • Confirmation that the magnetic compass has been calibrated successfully.

  • Outcome:

    • This calibration should resolve any compass or GPS misalignment issues on the controller.
