	~~====Magnetic Error Correction (Calibration)====~~		{{compasscalibration\|1042}}
	In order to get numbers of useful accuracy from the 1042's compass you will need to provide calibration parameters. To make determining them easy, we distribute a program with our drivers that does this for you.

	~~'''To calibrate your compass:'''~~
	~~[[image:calibration1.png\|thumb\|200px\|link={{SERVER}}/wiki/images/3/32/Calibration1.png]]~~
	*Navigate to the Phidgets installation folder on your computer. Open the 'examples' folder and find the Compass Calibrator program.
	~~<br clear = "all">~~
	~~[[image:calibration2.png\|thumb\|200px\|link={{SERVER}}/wiki/images/b/b5/Calibration2.png]]~~
	*Start the program and find the link in the Settings/Status text box. Go to the website listed. (http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#igrfwmm)
	~~<br clear = "all">~~
	~~[[image:calibration3.png\|thumb\|200px\|link=~~{{~~SERVER}}/wiki/images/3/3a/Calibration3.png]]~~
	*Select your country and city. Click 'Get Location' and then 'Compute'. A table of values will show up in an overlaid window. The value you will need is the 'Total Field' value in nT.
	~~<br clear="all">~~
	~~[[image:calibration4.png\|thumb~~\|~~200px\|link={{SERVER}}/wiki/images/0/02/Calibration4.png]]~~
	*Enter the magnetic field value into the calibration program. Note that it wants the field strength in Gauss, not nT like the website gives you. 1T = 10000 Gauss so you can convert easily enough.
	*Depending on what your application is this step as well as the next step might be a bit different. If you are intending on mounting the 1042 ~~onto a large vehicle such as a car then you should mount the 1042 securely to the vehicle in its final intended position then check the 2-axis bubble, click the 'Start' button.~~
	*If you are using a smaller, more easily handled vehicle such as a small robot (something you could physically pick up) you will mount the 1042 and use the 3-axis calibration instead. Click 'Start'.
	~~<br clear="all">~~
	~~[[image:calibration5.png\|thumb\|200px\|link={{SERVER}}/wiki/images/6/67/Calibration5.png]]~~
	*Rotate the compass around (including whatever equipment you have mounted it to) such that the red dots being generated on screen outline as much of a full sphere (in 3-axis) as possible. This will take several minutes. Being perfect is not necessary but try to be as thorough as time permits. Once done, click stop.
	*If you are in a large vehicle, you will be aiming to fill out a disc instead of a sphere (use the 2-axis mode for this). This can be done by simply driving around for a few minutes making sure to do complete 360° turns in the process.
	~~<br clear="all">~~
	~~[[image:calibration6.png\|thumb\|200px\|link={{SERVER~~}}~~/wiki/images/8/88/Calibration6.png]]~~
	*The calibration tool will automatically write these values to the Flash memory on board and are remembered until the device is calibrated again.
	~~<br clear="all">~~
