    I found the most recent ModalAI firmware on PX4-Autopilot Github. I selected "Generic Quad" Airframe. I power cycle. I try to calibrate Compass and am greeted with this issue.

    Also, I did not calibrate Gyroscope. No clue why that is green

      Hi, please see this page for tested versions of firmware. https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-firmware/

      The latest is a fast moving target, we try to get a stable version of each major release though.

          @wilkinsaf , just a note, that there is no magnetometer on the Flight Core or the VOXL-Flight, instead we require the use of an external mag (similar to our m500 which uses the Holybro GPS/mag assembly)

            Yes, I realized I forgot to load the correct .params file before starting calibration. After selecting the one that disables gps and mag I had success.

            Thank you
