[Paparazzi-devel] magnetometer calibration

[Chris]

Hi.
I just wanted to share with you all what i found during my experiments 
about the magnetometer
calibration.
As i couldn't calibrate or make the magnetometer work well enough no 
matter what i tried suddenly
my eyes fell to the lipo battery and i had this great as it proved idea 
to use long twisted power supply wires instead of strapping the krooz 
board and subsequently the magnetometer itself to the lipo battery.
Amazing as it sounds the lipo battery was the problem and it was 
destroying all my efforts to make
the magnetometer work well, it simply affects the magnetometer too much 
when closer than 3-5cm
to it.
Later today (i wish i could find this video before) i found this video:
