Imu and compass calibration after update

RoccoT312 · Jul 30, 2017

When I got my spark all the firmware was up-to-date so I never calibrated the compass or imu. it never told me to on the DJI go 4 app either it said normal. but in the past with old DJI products after you did a firmware update it was recommended to update or calibrate the IMU and compass. So I just updated the sparks firmware for ac and rc. Go4 says normal for imu and compass, but should I recalibrate them because of the updates???

No, i did a calibration after the upgrade and now i can't get compass to "normal" anymore...

No, I used to do that as it was standard operating procedure. Now I only do those if I'm noticing issues like drifting or are promoted to do so...

I just got done flying after I updated it yesterday. I didn't calibrate neither one, and it flew great. It held its position, no drifts and it was windy. I also tried the otg cable for the first time and wow what a difference. I have a p3s so I had no choice but to fly with WiFi and I've always thought the lag wasn't bad and it isn't. Same for the spark, but hard wired with otg is awesome.
