Wrong compass bearing

Post by Rainer@Phidget »

The bearing value is only ok, as long the sensor is parallel to the ground.
How can I get the correct direction with a little roll and / or pitch angle ?

Hardware: Phidget Spitial 3/3/3 Basic 1042_0
Software: Visual Studio, C# or Vb_NET , Phidget22_NET_dll


This problem could be observed in the "Phidget Control Panel" and
in "Phidget_Spetial_CSharp_Windows_Ex_20230331"

Thanks

Have you run through the compass calibration program? The bearing can be highly affected by environment.
