Might try calibrating the compass then.

Any other info you can give us will help us diagnose any issues you may be having also. Good luck.

I’ve tried recalibrate in different places. The drone on the screen doesn’t change colors

Just keep trying in other locations. As stated, it is picking up magnetic interference nearby. Even the steel rebar in a concrete driveway will interfere with calibration.

Maybe try an open field or local park.

Or a big wrist watch maybe ha anyway in app go to your sensors ( compass) and see what it's doing. Compass on landing gear No reading might indicate broken compass wire or bad soilder joint but sensors chart will show numbers calculating between certain range and show differences if I remember a little bit

If you have the message suggesting compass calibration but the compass won't recalibrate, it could be that your compass isn't connected.
You can easily confirm this by checking the compass data on the Sensors section of the app.
If it looks like this with numbers in the boxes for compass data, that means the compass is connected and working.

But if there are no numbers for compass data, that's confirmation that your compass sensor is disconnected.
The solution could be simply fixing a loose connection or you might have to replace the landing gear which contains the compass sensor.

I did replace the landing gear with the compass

There's your problem ... the compass is not connected properly.

No

Well there’s only one way it can go! I took it back apart (last week) just for that reason to make sure plugged it in Every thing looks right. It says the same messages as it did before I replaced it. Thanks

You mentioned you replaced landing gear, the compass wiring is very easy to break if not installed properly and carefully maybe by previous owner.
