Where is the front of my GPS/Compass

[JeremyE]

Hi All

I am having an interesting time trying to figure out where the actual front of the externall compass is. This is the compass involved: http://www.myrcmart.com/mini-ublox-m8n-compass-for-apm-35x35mm-p-8950.html
As you can see there is no arrow. I am using it with a pixhawk and loading the config via mission planner.

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,
you may find that this will help with the orientation of your compass.

I';ve used that board before on a TBS Discovery and the correct orientation is - with the GPS antenna facing upwards - the wires are coming out to the left (port) side of the aircraft.

That should correspond with what the link to RCG is showing - the L883 chip orientation with the board flipped over.

Thanks both of you. Set it up and everything is all dandy with the pixmini. Next weekend I will maiden her and see how it all goes :)
