where abouts did you have it attached to your inspire? perhaps its was just too close to the compass which affected its readings and i might work in a different location?

Installed as directed on Flytrex web site right behind the sensor.

From reading the DJI forum it seems like DJI adjusts compass sensitivity and change other things with each new firmware release. Maybe you are just seeing the effect of such change and Flytrex has not tested their device against the new firmware.

likely, they are always screwing something up in every new version it seems, thats why i dont update, still using 1.2.0.17 myself, if its not broke dont fix it, haha! Could always try downgrading to previous and see if issue goes away.

Could be from upgrade but not reinstalling would hate to have fly away because of Flytrex device. contacted Flytrex see what they have to say.

Wow, I just installed Flytrex on my Inspire 1 and started having the same issue: Compass Errors! I thought it was my firmware update I just did moving to 1.4.0.10, but based on this thread realize I need to uninstall the Flytrex kit. Too bad!,,,,

I am experiencing Compass errors during my flights. I was told to make sure the 10 pin cable is taped back to the FC so it stays clear of the GPS module.

Here is my flight Log, Take a look at Column BH row 766 to 930 and row 1169 to 1179.

Here is a short Video Clip of what happens during a compass error

I have taped the 10 pin cable back as suggested with no avail

I have also been getting a "Compass Error, please switch to ATTI" ever since I installed my Flytrex. I am going to remove it tonight and see if that fixes it.

Flytrex was my problem when I removed everything back to normal, what I am upset about I emailed Flytrex about problem and never got a response from them bad customer service. I think more people should complain to Flytrex. Not reinstalling will not take a chance in losing my Inspire because of Flytrex.

GPS trackers, what a huge waste of time and money.
I don't get people who buy these silly things - lol

I absolutely didn't buy this as a tracker. The flight telemetry (in .csv format) that's easily accessible through Flytrex's web interface makes it useful for what I do pertaining to GIS.
