AIRCRAFT CALIBRATION
Compass Calibration Procedures:
The electronic compass on the Evolve aircraft is used to determine the direction which aircraft is pointing to in reference
to true north. The compass is a sensitive sensor that is affected by electromagnetic interference from sources such as radio
towers and high voltage power lines. The compass can give false readings if the aircraft is placed over a surface composed
of metal or if there is metal under the surface, such as rebar under concrete. If a compass error occurs simply relocate the
aircraft in a different location until the metal interference is gone. If relocating the aircraft does not clear the compass error
or if the smart pilot APP requires a compass calibration follow the steps below.
To calibrate the compass follow these steps:
1. For safety reasons, please remove the propellers from the aircraft.
2. Make sure the GS and aircraft are powered on and connected.
3. Navigate to the compass calibration page on the smart pilot APP.
(Settings > General > Sensor > Compass)
4. Press "OK " on the compass calibration page.
5. Follow the on screen instructions to rotate the aircraft on the proper plane.
6. Only upon starting and ending will there be an audio prompt. Once success, aircraft will restart.
7. When complete the APP will indicate calibration success or failure.
8. If failed switch off the aircraft and controller power and restart at Step 1.
