Magnetic Calibration Isn't Supported on DK2?

I have a Pilot kit and I noticed some really strange issues with the 0.4 SDK.

If I sit it on my desk it randomly looks around. :shock:

So I thought OK, I just updated the Firmware maybe it needs recalibrating because I was able to in the previous Version.

But the Config Tool says it is only supported by the DK1?

Can someone explain how the Sensor Fusion works when the Vision Camera stops tracking?

    It randomly moves around for me too, but I am using a DK1.

    I was suspecting prediction, but even with everything turned off, it still moves.

    I believe this is being caused by having multiple camera controllers because I don't have the problem when there is only one.

    Thanks for the tip multilayer camera solution Jason, here's a thread I started with the solution.

    This solution only required 1 OVRController which seems to avoid the drifting problem when there are two or more.

    Magnetic calibration should mostly be a non-issue on DK2 since it is calibrated at the factory now and when tracked, the camera will remove drift completely.

    I'm in the Southern Hemisphere does the calibration at the factory account for different locations in the world. Sorry it's probably an obvious question. I haven't had any problem with it when the camera is tracking, it's rock solid!
