Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure from the Large Vehicle Mag Cal button using Mission Planner 1.3.75 with an ArduRover 4.0.0 rover and Pixhawk 4, noting the entered heading and displayed command error. Trace the button's command path and compare it with the available RTK GPS state. Done means large-vehicle compass calibration executes successfully or reports a specific actionable failure.
