Calibrating the Compass
DOBBY relies on the compass to determine its heading.
The compass is easily interfered with by other magnetic materials and electronic devices. This can
lead to data inaccuracies, unsafe flight or even a crash, on-site magnetic field conditions also
affects the accuracy of the compass. So, regular calibrations before flying helps the compass to work at
its best.
