Hello everyone,
The Knox County, Ohio Balloon Team recently attempted a tracker test during a particularly humid and rainy day. We found that calibration failed and spent two hours attempting to reconcile the issue to no avail. We moved the Arduino and the IMU inside and let it "dry out" for a day. Calibration now works perfectly. Note to self- store your IMU and Arduino in a cool, DRY place. We are packing ours in silica gel packets for the trip to our launch site in Kentucky. Good luck all, Godspeed, and happy ballooning!
