Wind direction not working since last upadte

[EduZamora]

Hi, since I updated my skydrop to the 4411 the wind arrow is not working anymore. I've tested it in my last three flights and the arrow was always flickering while showing opposite directions so it was impossible to know from where the wind came. Is there any solution for that?

By the way, I see that now the vario can use the acelerometer. Is it more accurate if I tick this option? Many thanks!

Well it is strange. Judging from the video the trouble might not be the wind estimation but the compass heading calculation. After IMU algorithm rewrite, I have to consider the vario location: if it is on raiser or on cockpit. Did you try to calibrate the compass, magnetometer and gyro?

To your second question: yes the vario is much more responsive if calibrated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa07fwXTDnw&t=1s

Hi, yes I also calibrated it, but the problem persists... I am going to reset it again, go out to test it and I´ll let you know how it was.

Thanks.

Hi! I have installed the last version on my Skydrop and also calibrated every sensor following your instructions. Today I was testing it, and the problem of the wind arrow persists.

When the wind arrow wasn't flickering and I could see some information about wind direction, I also realised that  it was completelly mistaken. I calulated the wind direction by comparing speeds and it was clearly coming from the south while the skydrop was telling me the wind was coming from the north (I was navigating at 50km/h to the north and 12km/h when I turned to the south, so I am pretty sure from where the wind came).

Is there a possibility to send you the skydrop to be fixed?

Many thanks!
