I often mess around with my quad configuration. \u00a0 Sometimes I re-flash the firmware which requires the re-calibration of the accelerometer and magnetometer. \u00a0 \u00a0To calibrating the accelerometer, the quad has to be on a level surface. \u00a0I have a 4-in-1 Quattro ESC<\/a> mounted to the bottom, which makes an excellent platform to mount to. \u00a0After tinkering on TinkerCAD (see what I did there?) for a few minutes, a base was born. \u00a0I also had a round\u00a0bubble level<\/a> laying around (got it at CDN Tire), which I mounted in the middle. \u00a0Pics of the printed unit and quad mounted below.<\/p>\n
