Hi, I've had just fine results with the onboard apm 2.5 compass. The various online arguments against using it seem to make sense and I would like the whole setup to be as accurate as possible so I'm giving it another shot. When the compass is plugged in to the i2c port, the direction changes...

Still not sure what the issue was but I swapped out for some 3dr radios from work and had no problems, so I am assuming it was the hardware.

Sweet, thanks for the suggestions. I'll look in to all of them.

The gps sits on that aluminum post when the body is installed. Seems like I followed their physical layout requirements as per the documentation. Setup: avroto 2814 4s 4200 35C 10X5 graupner first crash, second gemfan carbon 11X4.7 SF exceed proton, plush re brand 30A, atmel, stock f/w frsky...
