"If you are having problems with v3.2.1 on APM 2.x hardware and your multirotor is unstable and won't sit still but worked fine with v3.1.5 or v3.2, try changing the parameter INS_MPU6K_FILTER to 20 or 42 rather than the default of 0. The value of…"
"BTW- forgot to add that even with calibrating the ESCs the motors don't always spin up at the same speed, OpenPilot for the CC3D flight controller even has a calibration routine for adjusting this during board setup for instance. So that the motors…"
"The calibration needs to be done with the transmitter as the PWM signals will likely vary from what the arduino uno and potentiometer is putting out.
And while calibrating with the arduino uno and potentiometer will make the set points on the ESCs…"

"I've been using the APM 2.5 controllers that come on the Cheerson Cx-20 and the Quanum Nova, and a Pixhawk on a hexacopter 550 build and never had issues with GPS lock or low satellite counts, yet hear all the time about GPS issues in the various…"

BTW- are you doing an Autotune or an Autotrim? If you are holding the sticks to unlock and then continue till the lights start flashing and then hold a hover for about 20 seconds, that's an Autotrim…"

"Have you tried replacing the foam over the barometer and blacking out the inside of the FC case around the barometer?
I found that pluck-foam (from a pluck-foam case) works real well to protect the barometer from air gusts created in the body of…"
