Tool to help the user to correctly setup the magnetometer orientation in INAV

INAV Magnetometer alignment helper

This software is a helper to set the magnetometer alignment in INAV, this operation is not easy for a beginner users, the purpose of this software is to make this operation easier.

How to use

• Move the sliders until you get the right configuration in the 3D model
• Paste the commands on the bottom in INAV Configurator CLI
• Enter save to save the configuration

KNOWN ISSUES

Some GPS modules which have a different orientation of the usual CW 270 FLIP don't work with this software.

Known modules with strange orientation:

• HGLRC M80 PRO

Picture improvement

Hi! Thank you for the nice utility, I like it very much. But if it is possible, I whant to ask you to add some changes to the picture. Not all the people are using MatekSys M8Q-5883. Some are using separate GPS and magnitometer modules. GY-273, for instance. And the orientation of the magnitometer chip on the PCB may be different. I think that it will be more informative and useful, if you will add the x y z arrows axises to the magnitometer module image on the screen, as it is on the magnitometer PCB for instance. Then it will be no problem with finding chip orientation on the different magnitometer modules. Thank You!
Andy.

Why not align_mag_roll - 300. Seems Wrong here?

Hello.
I just realized that your Tool ihnores the Major Fact in Euler angles Method, that each step is based on the orientation
of the behavior before.

Followed by a roll pitch Yaw Matrix.

Starting point is the Sensor orientation without any value.
0.0.0.

Euler explanation with xzy and yzx Matrix

Please Do this for the configurator.

Cant this be built into the Inav Configurator?
Inav Issue.

Imagine to have a way like this for All external Hardware that needs a alignment.
Imagine an 45degree mounted flight controller😋
