Driver for QMC5883L magnetometer
hi buddy , sorry to pen ticket for my question , but actually I’ve been trying to install Chinese compass QMC5883L (instead of HMC5843 ) to my Arducopter , I ran compos test sketch in the library and notice it didn’t initialize. After tracking the issue I’ve notice init() function do not work correctly because it’s return unsuccessful flag for rest of operation, then I’ve notice there are following parameters which is base on well known HMC5843 compass whereas its not compatible with this Chinese compass
uint16_t expected_x = 715;
uint16_t expected_yz = 715;
float gain_multiple = 1.0;
float calibration[3];
and this is ini() function in the driver lib
bool AP_Compass_QMC5883L::init()
{
int numAttempts = 0, good_count = 0;
bool success = false;
uint16_t expected_x = 715;
uint16_t expected_yz = 715;
float gain_multiple = 1.0;
if (!write_register(ConfigRegB,0x80)) return false; //softReset must reset first
hal.scheduler->delay(10);
write_register(0x0B, 0x01);//SET/RESET Period
_i2c_sem = hal.i2c->get_semaphore();
if (!_i2c_sem->take(HAL_SEMAPHORE_BLOCK_FOREVER)) hal.scheduler->panic(PSTR("Failed to get QMC5883L semaphore"));
// determine if we are using 5843 or 5883L
_base_config = BaseReg;
if ( !write_register(ConfigRegA, Mode_Continuous | ODR_200Hz | Mode_Continuous| RNG_8G | OSR_512 )
// || !read_register(ConfigRegA, &_base_config)
)
{
_healthy[0] = false;
_i2c_sem->give();
return false;
}
product_id = AP_COMPASS_TYPE_QMC5883L;
/*
note that the HMC5883 datasheet gives the x and y expected
values as 766 and the z as 713. Experiments have shown the x
axis is around 766, and the y and z closer to 713.

expected_x = 766;
expected_yz = 713;
gain_multiple = 660.0 / 1090; // adjustment for runtime vs calibration gain
calibration[0] = 0;
calibration[1] = 0;
calibration[2] = 0;
while ( success == 0 && numAttempts < 25 && good_count < 5)
{
// record number of attempts at initialisation
numAttempts++;
// read values from the compass
hal.scheduler->delay(50);
if (!read_raw()) continue; // we didn't read valid values Fill _mag_x _mag_y _mag_z
hal.scheduler->delay(10);
float cal[3];
// hal.console->printf_P(PSTR("%d) mag: %d - %d - %d \n"),numAttempts, _mag_x, _mag_y, _mag_z);
cal[0] = fabsf(expected_x / (float)_mag_x);
cal[1] = fabsf(expected_yz / (float)_mag_y);
cal[2] = fabsf(expected_yz / (float)_mag_z);
// hal.console->printf_P(PSTR(" cal=%.2f %.2f %.2f\n"),numAttempts, cal[0], cal[1], cal[2]);
// we throw away the first two samples as the compass may still be changing its state from the application of the
// strap excitation. After that we accept values in a reasonable range

/*
The use of gain_multiple below is incorrect, as the gain
difference between 2.5Ga mode and 1Ga mode is already taken
into account by the expected_x and expected_yz values. We
are not going to fix it however as it would mean all
APM1/APM2 users redoing their compass calibration. The
impact is that the values we report on APM1/APM2 are lower
than they should be (by a multiple of about 0.6). This
doesn't have any impact other than the learned compass
offsets

}
else
{
/* best guess */
calibration[0] = 1.0;
calibration[1] = 1.0;
calibration[2] = 1.0;

// leave test mode
if (!re_initialise())

#if 0
hal.console->printf_P(PSTR("CalX: %.2f CalY: %.2f CalZ: %.2f\n"), calibration[0], calibration[1], calibration[2]);
#endif
return true;//success;
}
so I’ve bypassed it in the way that init() function always return successful flag & calibration[3] array is always equal to 1, then compile and upload the firmware into hardware, but in the end I received compass error that says my compass too bios or fail , I repeated calibration procedure couple of times but the drone didn’t arm so I’m guessing I kinda need to consider calibration into account which is fundamentally need to know correct initial value, unfortunately data sheet didn't be helpful and I don't know how to guess the initial value of expected_x, expected_yz & gain_multiple, so I really appreciated to have your comments about that
