To access the calibration either click on the calibration button on the openplotter pypilot tab, or run "pypilot_calibration <hostname>" from a console. | + | To access the calibration either click on the calibration button on the openplotter pypilot tab, or run "pypilot_calibration <hostname>" from a console. |
The mpu9255/mpu9250 (these are on the moitessier hat) are usually factory calibrated for the accelerometer. If you have mpu9255 sensors with orange capacitor (not yellow) they require this calibration as well as most other sensors. | The mpu9255/mpu9250 (these are on the moitessier hat) are usually factory calibrated for the accelerometer.

- | If you have a rudder feedback sensor, you can calibrate it from the servo tab. First manually center the rudder and click "Rudder is Centered". Next, turn the rudder to starboard until the angle you wish it to stop (before it reaches end of travel) and input the actual angle. The angle is needed to provide accurate rudder feedback measurements over nmea for opencpn dashboard display for example. Now hit "Rudder At Range" and the rudder feedback should be calibrated. | ||
