Hello, I'm trying to calibrate sensors on Prop Shield but "Send Cal" and "Send Calibration" are greyed out.
Do I have to collect more data to be able to send calibration or there is something missing here?
I'm on OS X 10.11.6
Thanks

Yes, you need to collect more data.

Actually, you need the data you collect to get all 4 of the error below certain thresholds. Usually that means moving it in more directions. Fast motion is ok. I like to just grab the cable and shake the board around quickly.

Usually as you collect more data, the visualization will become a sphere which rotates on its center point. If you notice areas of the sphere with large gaps, those are the places still missing data.

Also, if you have the board close to something generating a strong magnetic field, you can get very wrong data that will look nothing like a sphere. The 4 error estimates are meant to prevent such a horribly wrong calibration from being stored.
