Approving horizontal level Flight data

Hi,
after connecting my crazyflie (in absolut horizontal position) the flight data window shows a light left bias/decline (not exactly hoizontal).
Is it possible to correct this somehow even if I'm not a program freak or software engineer?
In other words: Is it possible to calibrate the sensor mounted on the crazyflie?
Thanks, BR, Klaus.

You can use the trim buttons to correct drift of the Crazyflie during flight. Is there a big error in roll and pitch if you put it on a level surface?

Hi!
About one line on the left side.

My question was, if it is possible (e.g. via software) to get the flight data display in a absolute horizontale.
In other words: How can I be sure that the measurement resp. the chip itself is working best (Because normally if the crazyflie is leveled correct the display should deliver 100% horizontal adjustment, isn't it?)

Thanks and BR,
Klaus.

There are many sources of error so it would be good to know what you finally want to achieve so I can help you better. There is currently no calibration function in the client but it is under development (slowly). However calibrating "level" is really difficult.
