You could have a Pixhawk issue I know dumb question but "You did remove the leg compass and plugged the HERE compass wire into the leg compass port yes"?

Here is on for sale on Ebay 3dr Solo Pixhawk 2 Cube • PH11A •New • International Shipping OK | eBay

I have purchased from this seller they are legit and have quick shipping to boot...

Yes compass was removed. Have HERE installed etc. This Solo was working before great, I had to replace my damaged cell (know this has nothing to do with it) and now all these problems have surfaced.

go into mission planner and turn off all the compasses leave the external one on the HERE enabled this will narrow down a problem with the internal compass on the pixhawk..

Word of caution do not randomly press buttons and do not update Arducopter when mission planner prompts you "under any circumstance"!

Dose Compass list correspond to below #1, #2, #3 ?
And if I am using the "HERE" would I select Compass #3? and disable the other two?
Thanks

Yes try that, just to see if the interference goes away the first compass listed is the external HERE compass disable the other one/s

ok, went into Mission Planner , here is what my Solo looks like is this right using the HERE compass? Any other changes needed to be made? Thanks

Thanks XevetS, made that correction yesterday and flew this morning. All good now, the settings in the picture are kinda misleading as I had selected the "external compass" (far right one), then went back and changed to first one. Thanks for your help, now need to plug in my "Green Cube".. I beleive I need to download that setting (I may have done already need to check)[emoji16]
