Is my temperature sensor broken?

[HeliHenkie]

Hi all,

Today I made a couple of static logs for the "fully temperature compensated IMU" procedure.
My board is a brand new AQ6 board with DIMU extension board.
All sensors give perfect results over the total temperature range, but the tempature sensor does not.
Somewhere in the temperature range below -4 degrees C something is wrong (see attached picture).
The temperature data over this temperature look normal.
All my static logs show a similar pattern as the one posted here.

Did anyone encounter a similar problem, know what the possible cause could be or how to solve it?
Where is the temperature sensor located? Is it on the main board or on the DIMU extension board?

Flying behaviour with just the onboard MAG calibration and DIMU tare is great.

Best regards,

Hi Jan Willem

I would go with the onboard tools.
Maybe you have some condensation causing this. Hard to tell.

@Christoff: thanks for your reply. Temperatures are below zero in the Netherlands at this moment. That's the reason I'd like to do the full temperature compensation, instead of the onboard tools. I've considered a condensation glitch as the reason of the strange data. Do you know which chip is used for temperature measurement? Is it the mpu6000 on the DIMU or another chip on the AQ board. That would make solving the problem easier.

Best regards,

Hi Jan Willem

I am very sorry, but that goes beyond my knowledge.

You can lower the chance of having a problem with condensation by not closing the container that you have the AQ 6 board in till you're ready to take the container out of the freezer.

If you close a container before you place in in a freezer you may lock high humidity in it.
