Hi all,
I am new to drones, so sorry if my question seems a bit stupid to you
My mini has a strange thing... The arrow in the middle downpart of the GoFly app screen should give you an indication of where the drone is in relation to the remote controller and in which direction it is heading.
But for some reason it does not work for me as intended. I have to stand in a position so that the drone makes an angle of 270° to get the arrow in the middle and pointing forwards. So, if I make the comparison with a clock, my position has to be at 9 o'clock to get the arrow pointing at 12 o'clock. That is very annoying since it makes it very difficult to know your own position relative to the aircraft and to give it the rigt commands.
I calibrated the compass and the IMU but found it strange that the directions (if one follows the figures displayed) the app gives you is to put the drone first on its left and then on its right side. On youtube I found a movies telling me just the opposite:
at 4:12.
I recalibrated several times and then got a compass calibration error, so I calibrated the compass again.
Nevertheless the arrow seems to live its own life. So I begin wondering it that has to do with the IMU whatsoever.
What I am doing wrong and how can I get the arrow pointing in the right direction and on the right spot of the semi-circle?
Thanks in advance for replying!
