So, quite simply, the manual just needs to spell that process out with something like. When I saw rsutter's post and did what he said (ignore the 95% stall and simply go through placing the unit on its sides and also the vertical orientation, all completed aok). In my case, when I first performed the calibration, it got to 95% and just seemed to sit there forever. Well the problem seems to me to be in that whilst the manual certainly describes how to do the calibration, it doesn't effectively support a new user in particular should the process (for any reason) stall. May we know which part of the calibration process is not clear enough for users? The order or the direction? We will forward your feedback to our designated teams. I strongly suggest that DJI improve its instructions Hopefully the recounting of my experience will be useful to others. Next I picked up the drone and held it in contact with the base, camera facing upward.įinally I put the drone on its back and waited. I then placed the drone on its left side and waited again. When the calibration process reached 95%, I repositioned the drone on its right side and waited for a few seconds as the calibration continued. I placed the drone on the plywood base facing up, all propeller arms folded I confirmed this with a 2' level, shimming a plywood base until the drone was perfectly level. Heeding the instructions, I first made sure that the DJI Mini 2 was on an absolutely level surface. I updated the firmware and repeated the process, again with similar results.įinally I Googled the IMU calibration failure issue and found the resource that I cite above () The calibration process stopped at either 95 or 96%.

Suspecting that it was the firmware update that kept me from calibrating the IMU, I attempted to recalibrate before I updated the firmware. Īs stated previously, I returned my DJI Mini 2 to Costco and purchased an identical one in the store.

I was able to successfully calibrate the IMU by following the steps set forth at.
