Compass cal, doesn't work ?

[toothandnail]

Searched the forum didn't see anything like this.
When I try an calibrate the compass, nothing happens. All the lights stay on on the H, don't get the message on the 16 with either the compass or accelerometer when I push cal.
The gimbal cal does work.
The obstacle avoidance doesn't work either, just stays yellow.

Any suggestions?

Try the accelerometer cal on a table in the house and see if it works. Do you see all the telemetry on the left side of the screen?

Yes, everything is visible on the left side.
Acel and compass do nothing when pushed. originally it came up with a message - can't remember exactly what it said - I hit OK and it went into cal.
Still flies OK, maybe slightly more drift - but it's been pretty windy so . . still probably under the 6' variable . But that was what prompted me trying to recal the compass.
Also slowly loses altitude, seems to drop about 3-4' then hold pretty good

Open hardware monitor and check the sticks very carefully. See if they move smoothly and return to exactly zero every time. A stick that is not centered can cause some unusual side effects. Post here what you find.

All sticks return to zero, whether easing off slowly or letting them pop back.

Okay. That's good. Next step would be to create a new model, name and save. Reboot the H and then rebind.

Created a new model, rebound, everything is back to normal.
kinda odd , I wonder what the original program dropped?
Thanks for the info !

I think it has a lot to do with which hand you use to turn on the controller and the direction your tongue is leaning.

You should go back to the model select page, press and hold on the original model and then select Delete.
