Description

#### Issue details
I'm using the latest mission planner on windows PC , Matek F405-Wing FC with Arducopter Firmware (stable-4.4.4/MatekF405-Wing)
HGLRC M100-5883 GPS with Compass. When I tried to calibrate the compass MP does nothing. GPS is connected to Tx3 and Rx3 (Serial 3) with CL2 and DA2 connected as per the diagram on Matek website (https://www.mateksys.com/?portfolio=f405-wing#tab-id-6) .

I haven't changed any parameters from the list
I'm trying to calibrate it indoors without a GPS lock
If I flash the INAV firmware onto FC , then I can calibrate Compass without any issues.

From the screenshot below , I dont see the top compass priority table. I tried enabling all 3 compass and also with only Compass 1 enabled. When I click the start button nothing happens. I would assume Mag1 field would show some progress but it stays blank.

Research direction

Start at Mission Planner's compass calibration screen and reproduce the issue with the Matek F405-Wing, HGLRC M100-5883 GPS, and ArduCopter 4.4.4 setup described. Check why pressing Start produces no calibration progress; done means calibration begins and progress appears for this hardware configuration.
