MultiNav Pro+ sensors module - magnetometer drift with IMU running full tilt?

Hey everyone, been working on a ground rover project where I'm fusing data from the sensors module (accel + gyro + mag) to get a decent heading estimate. Everything's going pretty well but I'm noticing the magnetometer readings drift noticeably once the accelerometer and gyro are both running at higher sample rates. Wondering if anyone else has run into this or if it's just something in my calibration setup.

Yeah I ran into exactly this on a similar build - turns out the mag on that module is pretty sensitive to the switching noise from the IMU's higher-rate sampling, so even a solid calibration can get wrecked at runtime. Try adding some low-pass filtering on the mag output and if you haven't already, double-check you're not sharing power rails without decent decoupling caps close to the sensor. Made a huge difference for me once I cleaned that up.
