Magnetic interference problem

[banjopad]

I made a crude cargo drop from a rc race car motor ,receiver and transmitter. Whenever i get the drop near the solo and boot up I get a magnetic interference notice on my controller. Question is - Will I have the same problem with a servo type drop and is there a fix for this problem?

When playing around with different payloads, I've done a lot, you will most likely have to recalibrate the compass

I found a workable solution, but it is far from satisfactory.
I suspended the bomb drop and receiver unit by a 3 ft chord from the bottom of the Solo. That solved the Mag interference problem and drops the payload.
Question -- If you get the magnetic interference notice on the controller screen, will recalibrateing make it go away?

Last time I got.magnetic interference and it wasn't going away, it was because I installed the compass backwards. The flat side has to be facing out of the leg.

If you upgrade to the Here GPS you can use its internal compass and remove the one on the leg. Should help quite a bit.
