plasmo said:I noticed that the Compass Mod # changes drastically, depending on the orientation of the Phantom on the table.
eg. It reads 1200 in one spot, and if I rotate it on the table 90 degrees, it jumps to 2500, then down to 150 in another position.
The Assistant help section states that values should be between 750 and 2250, but I see most want it between 1400-1800 from what I've read on these forums. Which value (depending on orientation) is the true value?

Did you check the table surface with a level?

Its not a bug.I think the "overheating" error message is just a bug. Just restart the program and it should work again.

There is a correlation in the calibration on how long you have left your phantom on idle.
Try this next time.
Leave the phantom OFF for an hour.
Start the Phantom Assist software and goto the adv calibration page and have it ready. Plug phantom in the PC. Power the phantom on and do the calibration immediately. If you have done it right, the MC heat warning does not appear and the calibration is done in a minute. This is validated by the green ticks.
Now leave the phantom on for 5 minutes idling.
Try doing the adv calibration. The warning appears and it will take longer and depending on how long you left it on, it may not even get the green ticks (yes there are 2 green ticks).
I'm no tech, but I know the IMU is about the size of a 5 cent coin and is VERY sensitive to heat (altimeter/barometer sensor). Without the props spinning and the wifi module heating, the NAZA/IMU will get hot quick, usually under a minute.
And PS. Make sure you find a levelled surface in all axis otherwise it will NOT yaw accurately.
And yes, others will disagree and tell me the warning is just a bug.
This worked magnificently! Thanks so much for your help. Next time you're in Atlanta, GA I owe you a beer.
