      I am getting errors while trying to set up my drone.

      System:
      Flight Core V2 Flight Controller running PX4 (Latest)
      VOXL FPV 4-in-1 ESC
      Mateksys SAM-M10Q GPS

      Issues:
      I am getting a persistent "Magnetometer sensor #0 failure: Timeout" on QGroundControl. Does the FC V2 have it's own magnetometer? Is the issue related to the onboard mag or the M10Q GPS I am trying to use? Upon rebooting, I will usually get the same error, but sometimes I get a "found 0 compass (required 1)" error.

      I am also getting a "Barometer 0 Missing" error, but not consistently, sometimes a reboot will clear that error, sometimes it will not.

      Any help in getting the barometer and gps properly set up would be greatly appreciated.

        @linmur02 When you say "latest", which version, specifically, are you using? Yes, the FC V2 does have an internal magnetometer, but in both the ModalAI fork and on mainline the internal magnetometer is not enabled so any mag issues should be related to the mag on the GPS unit. Is the GPS being seen reliably? The barometer is on the board and shouldn't have any issues. If you disconnect that GPS unit do you still see occasional barometer missing errors? Also, can you start swapping out hardware to see if the issues are related to a hardware problem?
