Payload and Compass Calibration
First setup only.
The rst time that a payload is connected with the Intel Falcon 8+ UAV, it is necessary to rst perform a payload calibration, and
then the compass calibration (strictly in that order). The Intel Falcon™ 8+ UAS will save the calibrations with that exact payload,
and remember it the next time it is used.
If the calibrations are not done, the UAS will use default parameters which will lead to decreased heading accuracies.
