 The mpu9255/​mpu9250 (these are on the moitessier hat) are usually factory calibrated for the accelerometer. ​  If you have mpu9255 sensors with orange capacitor (not yellow) they require this calibration as well as most other sensors. The mpu9255/​mpu9250 (these are on the moitessier hat) are usually factory calibrated for the accelerometer. ​  If you have mpu9255 sensors with orange capacitor (not yellow) they require this calibration as well as most other sensors.

-If you have a rudder feedback sensor, you can calibrate it from the servo tab.  First manually center the rudder and click "​Rudder is Centered"​. ​  Next, turn the rudder to starboard until the angle you wish it to stop (before it reaches end of travel) and input the actual angle. ​ The angle is needed to provide accurate rudder feedback measurements over nmea for opencpn dashboard display for example. ​ Now hit "​Rudder At Range" and the rudder feedback should be calibrated.
