Gyro/Accelerometer Calibration
navX-MXP onboard sensors require calibration in order to yield optimal results. We highly
recommend taking the time to understand this calibration process – successful calibration is
vital to ensure optimal performance.
Accurate Gyroscope Calibration is crucial in order to yield valid yaw angles. Although this
process occurs automatically, understanding how it works is required to obtain the best results.
If you are tempted to ignore this information, please read the section entitled "The Importance
of Stillness" at the end of this page.
Calibration Process
The navX-MXP Calibration Process is comprised of three calibration phases:
Factory Calibration
Startup Calibration
On-the-fly Calibration
