Finally got my P4 from crazyhobbies.com.au and ran the required updates and wanted to calibrate the IMU.
I have a spirit level app in my phone so checked the kitchen bench top for level, moving the phone around to ensure no false readings. I was about to start when I remembered I had a magnetic/metal detector app on my phone.
I ran that around the benchtop and noted a huge increase in magnetic field where I had planned to sit the P4. I opened the cupboard below and noticed a magnet was the locking device. the magnetic influence went from 47 to 93. I found a spot with no magnets nearby that yeilded a magnetic measure of 44 and completed the IMU calibration there.
How many people do their IMU calibrations on the kitchen bench?
Nice level kitchen bench.
Nice solid peice of furniture, full of magnets!
Just thought it was worth a mention and I would recommend a quick check of the work/kitchen bench with a metal/magnet detection app in their phone.
Could be a reason for many a flyaway P3....
