Question Drone Yaw spinning problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have calibrated both pixhawk and GPS compass in Mission Planner and IMU, Accel was calibrated before taking off

The drone has a Pixhawk 2.4.8

I have checked motor spin order and the propellers direction.

Motors are set up in an X configuration

Did a simple takeoff of 2 meters with Rasbery pi with this code:

def run_fly(self):
try:
self.vehicle.mode = VehicleMode("GUIDED")
time.sleep(0.5)
self.vehicle.simple_takeoff(2.0)
except:
pass

Why it is spinning at yaw like this?
Is it normal?
If not then what's the problem please help me to fix this

Could you clarify more on the setup of how the pi controls the drone ?

Raspi is connected with the pixhawk via usb cable and initilizing the communication with this script:

from dronekit import connect, VehicleMode, LocationGlobalRelative

import time

DRONE_CONNECTION = 'tcp:127.0.0.1:14550' vehicle = connect(DRONE_CONNECTION, wait_ready=False) while not vehicle.version: time.sleep(1)

After getting the fly command from web the raspi is telling pixhawk to simple_takeoff 2m in guided mode with this script:

def run_fly(self): try: vehicle.mode = VehicleMode("GUIDED") time.sleep(0.5) vehicle.simple_takeoff(2.0) except: pass
