APM Mini 3.1, 3.2.1 will load but can't go any further, any ideas?

Hi all,

I'm building a Tarot 250 mini quad and I've spent hours this evening trying to get Arducopter 3.2.1 to work without success.. 3.1 works fine but when I load 3.2.1 the accelerometer calibration fails (doesn't get past the first setting) and no compass is recognised if I try to calibrate that, no radio, etc..

I know that the Mini is version 3.1 but I kind of hoped I could load 3.2.1 as others appear to have managed successfully on here..

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Just one other small thing that intrigued me, on my Pixhawk I had to leave out the positive wires from the ESCs yet with the Mini it works with them.. Is that just because it's a different board? (Sorry if that's a dumb question..).

Thanks,

Peter.

I have a mini apm in my 250 quad and it works fine to calibrate it. Dont use the wizard. Try doing each step on its own. I just downgrade it to 3.1.5 because my quad was jumping up and down in alt hold. I dont know if it was related to a bad jack on the gps that I just found and fix. The compass jack had a bad solder jack. I would load 3.1 and set it all up and then upgrade to 3.2 then.
