[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 109812, member: 18605"] When choosing a location to perform a compass calibration, be sure to select a place that is not close to ferrous (iron based) metals. Most concrete is poured over rebar or wire mesh, therefore is not a good candidate. Also, stay clear of any electrical wiring close-by. It could be that your compass has become magnetized. This can occur for any number of reasons, but can often be corrected without repairs or replacement of parts. There was a good discussion a few months ago talking about the various ways to degauss (demagnetize) the Spark. Here's a link: [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/threads/choosing-a-device-to-demagnetize-a-compass.16293/']Compass degaussing[/URL] Start reading at post #19. [/QUOTE]
