try latest master (see 8e4a1ca) note that your offsets didn't get saved in the list you posted
also, make sure to minimize stray magnetic fields influencing the magnetometer, or it won't work well
pls note: i found i had to import your patch in order to have my work on the new LIS3MDL driver pass the calibration routines expectations too.. (excess offsets)

thanks Mark, i found while just now doing development testing, that the lis2mdl device would never report negative z-axis values, (at first thought about bus corruption problems), until i waved the device over my laptop computer!), whaalaay, problem solved and i successful moved onto completing calibration..//
Hi, I am new to everything here. I do not know where to find the offsets output in the QGroundControl program. I found this issues forum by searching the error on google and joined GitHub to post my own issue. I'm in a bit over my head but trying to learn fast.
I re-ran sensor calibration with an extra long cable connected to my computer and did it as far from anything as I could get, but got the same result.
I ran analyze and turned on everything... not sure if this will help? analyze log.txt
Thank you and I hope I am not wasting your time.
@brendanogrady1 Try to flash the "developer version" (tick the "Advanced checkbox at the bottom of the flash widget"). That should fix it.
Well, that worked! Thank you so much!
Awesome!
Info shows a warning but calibration worked:
