Unable to get Magnetometer information

See original GitHub issue

Hi all,

I am trying to get the information from the magnetometer using the following line of code:

async for compass_info in drone.telemetry.MagneticFieldFrd(): print(compass_info.forward_gauss)

but I am getting the following error

AttributeError: ‘Telemetry’ object has no attribute ‘MagneticFieldFrd’

Can you help me please?

Thank you in advance

Oh, I figured it out:

    async for imu in drone.telemetry.imu():
        print(imu.magnetic_field_frd.forward_gauss)

I was faced the exact issue as mentioned by OP, but those lines of code didn’t help as well. After executing the script seems to stay in an infinte loop, because there were no ouput in command prompt. On the other hand the code

    async for euler in drone.telemetry.attitude_euler():
        print(euler.yaw_deg)

is executed just fine. I was trying to connect my script to PX4 via USB on Windows 10.
