I remember reading something on taking off from a boat, techniques and tricks, to initialize and calibrate the MK FC or I guess the DJI too, any old tips or perhaps new ones appreciated Thanks
If you're running Radian stabilizer with your gimbal, you need to initalize it before getting on to the boat. For MK FC, I just initalize gyros on the boat.
I've taken off from boats many times, and have never had any problems. I use the DJI Wookong though, so I do not know how it differs. Occasionally, I'd just have the boat captain stop the boat for a moment while I do the little compass reset dance again. I do not fly in GPS mode - only attitude mode, so I'm unsure if this makes a big difference. I've powered up the Radians on the go without any problems, but this was on relatively calm waters.
My understanding is that the copter has to be totally still for initial giro calibration MK, left stick upper right, but if the boat is slightly moving or drifting this calibration would be compromised what do you guys think?
I've been able to fly MK off of a boat in moderate seas. Hoverfly will not initialize. Please let us know how it goes.
