DIMU calibration

Interesting questions - but a reliable answer should be given by one of the coding guys^^. They probably know what they have done .

I am also eager to know these kind of things, hopefully clearification appears in the wiki soon . But maybe an efficient way of handling it is not yet finalized.

So with r378, how can we choose to store the new values in EEPROM?

Is the mag calibration dance different to the previous dynamic dance? What is the procedure for getting a set of parameters using the 'tare/mag calibration dance' option? Just use a dynamic log and no static logs? Or do you still need a static log and to freeze the board?

Thanks!

so to save time we have to buy a bigger freezer to perform the static and dynamic log inside the fridge

If we had this about 2 months ago I could have just went outside when it was -20f no freezer needed LOL

After a full day fighting with my new DIMUs onto my two old boards, I discovered the following problems.

I have different DIMU versions:
1 x DIMU v1.01 (DIMU installed by Jussi and working well)
2 x DIMUs v1.1 from Flyduino (DIMU installed by me)

Then:
Using "aqv7.0.r372.b1710-hwv6.0-dimu11.hex" with DIMU v1.01 all it´s OK, but NOT OK with DIMU v1.1 (can´t make tare).

So, I´ve rewind and using "aqv.r344.b1640-rev0.hex" worked with DIMU v1.1 ( I can tare and flight).

BTW, just installing the fw in DIMU v1.1, HUD rotates cracy, so I need to load deffault params, which is not obvious. This is how I did it:
- Connect to QGC normally (SD out the board). Record the "PARAMS.txt" (the "good" one) into SD
- Now, insert SD on board. From QGC "load from SD". Remove SD
- reset. Now HUD is OK.
- Delete "PARAMS.txt" from SD to avoid being loaded if that SD is used for loging flights. If leaved in the SD, then It´s not loaded correctly after a reset (red led flashing in fw); only can be done using "QGC-load from SD"

Are there any new "tare" for v1.1? Something that we should know with v1.1?
what should be used for compiling?

Please clarify. Thanks. Today I was close to get crazy with AQ...

Angel,
v1.01, should not have a EEProm. I'm really not sure.
The v1.1 should have a EEProm.

Did we speak from the same ?
Tare is not MAG-onboard calibration ?!

Tare should work on all DIMU boards.
What do you mean, by can't make tare?
Any message in qgc ?
Maybe we should use a other config_default.h file for DIMU !
