Checking to see if I'm doing something wrong or not? First time user of TH - yesterday read all the manuals and videos, tried to do compass calibration outside before inaugural test flight. I did update the SW on the ST16 before doing anything.
- Was outside, away from electrical wires, the ST16 and cell phone.
- On ST16, tapped settings, and when compass calibration option appeared, tapped it. It momentarily changed color as I tapped it but would not "stay selected" when I raised my finger.
- On TH, I never saw the pairs of lights flashing on opposite-side rotor arms (as I expected from the videos)... so I don't think it ever successfully entered the "compass calibration" mode.
I gave up trying the calibration and flew it anyway. From a separate thread I noted that after 2 decent landings, it flipped over on my 3rd attempt. I don't really think the lack of calibration was a contributing factor as it seemed to fly very well and hover pretty well during the flight. Both ST16 and drone had plenty of GPS satellites.
