Compass flip not working

[oldrootbeer]

Using a ttgo lora with a bn880 gps & mag. If I use flip or non flip alignment in config.h, the heading still rotates opposite to what it should. As if the flip function does not work.

If I physically flip the gps module (mag built in), all is good, but the gps antenna is facing down.

Am I missing something or is there a work around? As I really like the tracker.

v2.20.04

Hmm. That feature was kindly added by one of the contributors. I'll take a look when I get the chance.

Can you confirm which flip you chose:

CW0_DEG_FLIP, CW90_DEG_FLIP, CW180_DEG_FLIP, CW270_DEG_FLIP

This is the code. Strangely, the treatment of the FLIP cases is the same as no flip. Line 1610 in the Utilities tab.

  float applyCompassAlignment(float hdg , uint8_t rotation) {
    float res = 0.0;

    switch (rotation) {
      default:
      case CW0_DEG:
      case ALIGN_DEFAULT:
      case CW180_DEG_FLIP:
          res = hdg;
          break;
      case CW90_DEG:
          res = hdg + 90;
          break;
      case CW180_DEG:
          res = hdg + 180;
          break;
      case CW270_DEG:
          res = hdg + 270;
          break;
      case CW0_DEG_FLIP:
          res = hdg + 180;
          break;
      case CW90_DEG_FLIP:
          res = hdg + 270;
          break;
      case CW270_DEG_FLIP:
          res = hdg + 90;
          break;
    }

    if (res > 360.0) {
      res = res - 360.0;
    }

    return  res;
  }

Sorry. On the road at the moment. I was trying cw90flip. I then tried cw90 and both where identical.

The heading adjusts, just not the flip.

I was attempting to find the references last night but had to be up early today for s long day. I'll look tonight and tomorrow

          break;
      case CW180_DEG:

          break;
      case CW270_DEG_FLIP:
          res = hdg + 90;
          break;
    }

    if (res > 360.0) {
      res = res - 360.0;
    }

    return  res;
  }

I have made these changes to my local file and I get good results with cw270flip. I can test the rest over the next day or two when I get the time.

switch (rotation) { default: case CW0_DEG: case ALIGN_DEFAULT: case CW180_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg); break; case CW90_DEG: res = hdg + 90; break; case CW180_DEG: res = hdg + 180; break; case CW270_DEG: res = hdg + 270; break; case CW0_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg) + 180; break; case CW90_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg) + 270; break; case CW270_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg) + 90; break; }

[oldrootbeer]

This is more correct I think

switch (rotation) { default: case CW0_DEG: case ALIGN_DEFAULT: case CW180_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg)+180; break; case CW90_DEG: res = hdg + 90; break; case CW180_DEG: res = hdg + 180; break; case CW270_DEG: res = hdg + 270; break; case CW0_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg); break; case CW90_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg) + 90; break; case CW270_DEG_FLIP: res = (360-hdg) + 270; break; }

This is good. Thank you so far.

[zs6buj]

Would you like to do a PR?

[oldrootbeer]

I will do when I figure out how to. I've only done one in the past, but messed it up.

[zs6buj]

Good job oldrootbeer.
