Magnetometer Not Enabled On Full Naze32 rev
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 8:41 am
ok guys....serious problem here. Earlier this year, Dad bought a Full Naze32 rev6 because we wanted to mess around with the magnetometer and barometer features. We were going to put the board onto his DualCopter. Unfortunately, we have decided to put the DualCopter on the shelf for a while because we were having troubles getting the Full Naze32 and a MultiWii SE to function as desired.
Dad has bought a DJI 450 Flamewheel clone frame and we are trying to get the Full Naze32 working on this frame. The build went very well and easy. Cleanflight setup went without troubles except for one thing...the magnetometer isn't showing up. The barometer and the magnetometer are both "checked green" in the Config tab, but only the barometer is highlighted at the top of the Cleanflight GUI. Now, when we first got the board and we were first setting it up, months ago, I remember the magnetometer was working because we calibrated it and it did work. I was really amused because it did point North, within a few degrees. Now, nothing. I can go into the CLI and type "dump" and I don't even see anything about the magnetometer. I see some settings for the barometer, but not the magnetometer.
Would you guys have any suggestions?
Setting up the board, this time, I did reflash the board with the latest firmware. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I'm going to flash a previous version and see if that sorts this out.
PS....Dad did take a few pics during the build. I'm sure he'll post them soon. Also, the purpose of this project, as was with the dualcopter, was to be able to lift an action figure with a parachute, enable the altitude and heading hold, drop the paratrooper, and then land. This is Dads quad and we are trying to keep this as "user friendly" as possible without spending a lot of money.
