compass disabled. If compass enabled, SkyHub will log reported values anyway, but
to get accurate readings it is recommended to rely on Heading of the drone and wind
direction relative to the sensor body, and calculate wind direction accordingly.
2. Sensor must be installed on the drone with the mark "Sensor Body No. XXXXXX"
aligned to the drone tail (back).
3. Set FTTECHNOLOGIESFT742 value to true in [ROS_PAYLOADS] section:
