I got the compass sensor missing error for my Starling2, and I think it's an issue with the GPS. I want to buy a new GPS for the Starling2 ASAP, and I didn't see it on the products on the website. Is there a way for me to do that?

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing

I am getting this issue, and came to the idea that it's an issue with the GPS, but if you have knowledge as to what it could be, let me know.

@Nitin-Varma-Vegesna Also for more information, the drone crashed into a ceiling, and the black holder for it broke, and while the wires look fine, I get the error Preflight Fail: Compass Sensor 0 missing when I try to fly it. Then, I have another working drone. I replaced its GPS with the drone that crashed, and I couldn't fly it due to the same error, so that is how I came to the conclusion that the GPS is the issue.
