Invalid orientation when calibrating compass

PX4 Autopilot Flight Controllers
#1

I set up a pixhawk and started the calibration procedure. For the compass calibration it lets me do 5 of the 6 axes, and then when I try to do the 6th, it gives an error message “invalid orientation calibrating compass”. Now I find this rather strange, because when I calibrated this unit earlier, this error did not happen.
Checked the GPS unit and it is OK.

Has anyone seen this behavior?

I had the same problem. It was either an unstable or wrong firmware installed. Alternately, I loaded another air-frame and loaded back the required to perform the reset. It worked fine after that. Cheers
