Troubleshooting Featherweight Blue Raven Temp and Altitude sensor

[jayrocketry]

I connected to my Blue Raven altimeter via Bluetooth and USB and noticed that my altitude and temperature are way off. The user manual states that the altimeter is factory calibrated but I saw no flight tests or simulations done prior to shipment. Am I supposed to calibrate the temperature and barometric sensors? Thank you. Accelerometer seems to work fine.

The barometric sensor can sometimes behave this way if if is powered down to a low voltage and then turned on again. Try turning the Blue Raven off for 30 seconds and apply power again. If the problem persists then it's a sensor failure and I'll replace the unit.

Speaking of temperature sensors Adrian, how do I switch the phone app to display Celsius please?

BTW, the UI on the android system works really nice. Looking forward to more functionality as it is developed.

Letting it rest for a few seconds seemed to resolve the issue. Thank you.
