DJI Spark Drone. How To Calibrate Compass & IMU

[@warwickchuck1]

Hi as a very newbie to Spark flying I throughly enjoyed the calibration demonstrations here. Thank you

[@HansvanDijkGroningen]

saw more then 10 video's about the spark but these three were the best

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Hans van Dijk 360rond thanks very much for saying.

[@arnoldbesold2466]

It helpt me a lot! Thank you

[@leeteemtb9587]

Hi there. I see you know a bit about the DJI spark, I’m having issues with one I purchased second hand recently. The problem I am having is the atti mode won’t go off. I’ve recalibrated the compass and the imu. The drone flies ok and active track is good but it never updates the home position. My drone appears on the map and it has satellites too

[@RC-Flight]

Are you using a controller or just your phone? If using the controller is it set to sport? That’s the slider switch in the Center.

[@HiHai]

Wow. what a beautiful video.

[@ICKOnikz]

Good day my sparky is have an issue " GIMBAL MOTOR OVERLOADED " how can i fix this & how to Calibrate it

[@madedigital]

I think this is a good post because when I first tried to cal the Imu I was doing it so wrong meaning I did not realise that it ment to go on its side I tried about five times until I notice the image was slightly different this post will help a lot of new jacks

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

AR 23 yes it can be confusing if your use to the old method of leaving it flat.

[@XJarhead360]

DJI doesn't tell you the Spark has to lie on its side for IMU calibration and not flat except at the very end when it has to be upside down.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

2027850 the images on screen should show you the correct orientation.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

2027850 yes it does on the screen of your device.

Hi, i just bought a second hand dji spark. I calibrated it multiple times but it is incontrollable. I swipe to take off and it immediatley drifts off. Any tips to get it to hover properley would be very much appreciated.

[@o0xpwnx0o]

Have you solved the problem? I have the same problem

[@timothyduijker5998]

Hi, this is a long time ago. I dont think i did fix the problem. Ended up buying a new Mini2.

[@clanelliott0305]

many thanks

[@shiny8050]

thx it worked

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

titanium gaming glad it worked for you.

[@superjun6949]

and how about the gimbal camera calibration sir ?

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

super jun thanks for the suggestion.

[@jimmydavis6954]

It let me know allright flying wild twice almost lost it then finally midflight told me to calibrate compass

[@br011075]

Good Info, thanks. But for me it is not clear about the accelerometer and gyroscope bars. Is a dot only enough or must be displayed a full bar. The same is for compass.

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

br011075 less is better so a dot is good.

[@br011075]

Marionville Multirotors. Thaks for your reply

[@whatsup7202]

Hello how do I get dji insurance recently bought a second hand spark also have a mavic platinum but having difficulty in getting insurance something about I should have applied 48 hours in advance. Do you have an address where I can get a good insurance which does not cost an arm and a leg. Hoping you can help me Regards Irvine

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Irvine Forbes yes you need to take the Care out within 48 hours of activation. If you contact DJI and send them a video of your craft in flight you can take out insurance after the 48 hours.

[@irvinejamesforbes3548]

Having a Mavic Platinum new and recently got a second hand DJI Spark trying to get dji insurance is trying to get whiskey out of a stone. I did chat to a rep who said I have to take a video which is a nightmare why are things so difficult. All I want is drone insurance. Can you recommend another way to get insurance I.e. different company what a hassle. I live in Portsmouth UK originally from Aberdeen please help if you can’t I’ll forget about insurance and take a risk. Regards Irvine

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Irvine Forbes yes I have heard of the issues of getting Care Refresh in an exiting drone. Try Moonrock or Coverdrone.

[@leemcrs74]

I'm getting a check redundancy status what does that mean

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Haven’t seen that before but sounds like one of the sensors is having an issue.

[@rogerthat9174]

Why do I have to pair my spark and remote control every time I use it. It's a pain

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

Roger St martin that shouldn’t be necessary.

[@sparkadventures2804]

Use otg cable i had the same issues as you. Someone told me about the cable works great

[@pawansharma-pz1hz]

My dji spark crashed, now its showing "no 1 imu calibration error 71", pls help

[@MarionvillemodelsMultirotors]

pawan sharma the sensor may have got jammed. Try knocking with your knuckles on the top, sides and bottom of the craft. It may free it up.

[@grwup7047]

horizontal & vertical w/camera towards ground (latitude/longitude) is the correct way - > not horizontal and sideway horizontal. i fly my spark daily, dji purposely misguided first time drone flyers with this incorrect compass calibration ..

[@carlosjimz]

Makes sense horizontal and camera down vertical for compass calibration, that's how you calibrate many other drones,
