Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing
-
Hello, the top of the starling2 that holds the gps broke off and now I get the error Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing. How do I fix this? I still have the gps, but did something else get lost or get loose? What exactly is the compass sensor in the starling 2. Also, for my endeavors, I don't need gps, so is there a way to prevent this error?

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna In
/etc/modalai/voxl-px4.confset GPS to NONE. Then set the PX4 parameters SYS_HAS_GPS, and SYS_HAS_MAG to 0. Set EKF2_MAG_TYPE to 5. Set EKF2_GPS_CTRL to 0. Then reboot and see if the preflight error is cleared. -
@Eric-Katzfey Ok, also is there a way to buy the GPS chip since I did not see it on the available products?
-
@Eric-Katzfey Also, for EKF2_MASG_TYPe, my options are Automatic, Magnetic Heading, 3-axis, VTOL custom, MC custom, and None, which corresponds to 5?

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna None

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna I think it's this one: https://store.3dr.com/mini-gps-ublox-max-m10s/

@Eric-Katzfey Ok, thank you!
-
@Eric-Katzfey Now, it arms successfully, even though it says Preflight Fail: heading estimate not stable and Preflight Fail: Yaw estimate error. Is this an issue?
-
@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna If you are just flying in manual or altitude hold modes then those shouldn't be an issue.
