Compass error. Storage on a subwoofer.

[LinsiToren]

Hey. I did a lot of stupidity. I kept my drone on the subwoofer for 3 days. (I was visiting a friend). Now I have a constant compass error. I read a lot of threads on the forum. Give me some advice. What's better? Change compass or demagnetize?

This seems to work for some.

Cfixer

You can try the calibration first to see if that will clear it.

A hobby shop may have one of these to use for a fee?

Good luck and welcome to the Forum.?

Removing magnetism is called degaussing, which is what the Cfixer does that Spark 317 said might work for you. Check out item 27 on this page:

27) Keep strong magnets away from your drone at all times

Seems you're not the first person to have done this. Degaussing would be faster and cheaper than replacing the compass unit if you don't have to. Good luck.

OR,

Order it, use it to degauss and then return it? ?
