Compass Mode differences

[jevermeister]

Hi Alex,
I tested the dev Version where one can enable the old stability mode. The stability works better for me now.

But I think I have a small problem there, it seems that the compass mode works different now - my xopter is twitiching back and forth all the time while trying to keep the current heading.

Can you help me out of it? I isolated the part wih the different stability mode and inserted it into the patch2 code to keep all my changes.

Please check the magnetometer if reacts accordingly.
How should be the sensor axis directions
TILT the MULTI to the RIGHT (left side up):

MAG_ROLL, ACC_ROLL and GYRO_ROLL goes up
MAG_Z and ACC_Z goes down
TILT the MULTI forward (tail up):

MAG_PITCH, ACC_PITCH and GYRO_PITCH goes up
MAG_Z and ACC_Z goes down
Rotating the copter clockwise (YAW):

GYRO_YAW goes up
The copter stays level:

MAG_Z is positive ; ACC_Z is positive

Hi,

That's why I prefer to stay and improve the 1.8 LEVEL mode.
The 1.7 LEVEL is ok, but with a very simple implementation of heading deduction.

I've just uploaded a new dev version with some tweaking about the level mode.
Could you try ?

Hi Alex,
in the meantime I analyzed the sourcecode and saw that the compass heading is way more simple, I tried to inject the new one into the old code but this is far above my udnerstanding.

I will try the new code as soon as possible and report back.

@dramida: The compass is ok, I tested it with 1.8 and tuned the code according to Alex's guide - as Alex just stated, it is the code .

Thanks for your help I appreciate that!
