Phantom 3 Compass Error

[athill16]

After flying my Phantom 3 literally ONE time, all I get is a Compass error and electromagnetic interference error. I've tried recalibrating 3 times in the exact same spot I did before the first flight and it still won't work. I also did an IMU calibration, still nothing. Any help is appreciated!

Try calibrating the compass in a different spot.

Are you trying to fly from the same location. Is there metal or overhead wires or concrete with rebar or wire in it or autos, or chain link fences-- (with in 30 ft.).

I've tried it in a spot a mile away from where I have been, still doesn't work.

Nothing within 30 feet, I've tried it in different locations as well.

Anyone care to help?

Bad compass, cable, connector???

I don't think it's a bad compass since it worked perfectly the first flight. It makes no sense that I have to recalibrate in the same exact area I was flying the first time. So far, I'm disappointed.

Failures will be unannounced.

First flight, fiftieth flight, no difference.

Hope it's not but you don't have many choices.

How about degauss? Is that applicable to P3s?

I'm not sure but I'm going to try it anyways because nothing else has worked and DJI hasn't responded.

Any luck here? I'm having the same issues, and tried all of the same

Degauss should work-- shouldn't be any differences in the sensor.
