Warning #1: PX4/Pixhawk users upgrading from AC3.1.5 (or earlier) may need to re-do their compass and accelerometer calibration because AC3.2 also uses the backup compass and accels. Pre-arm checks have been added to ensure this has been done.
Warning #2: on the APM2.x the logs must be downloaded using MAVlink instead of the terminal.
AC3.2-rc14 is now available for BetaTesters through the mission planner’s Beta Firmwares link. The full release notes can be found in ReleaseNotes.txt and changes from -rc13 can be seen below.
Feel free to raise issues found during testing on this discussion or in the new support section in the APM Forum.
It’s a big release with “the onion” restructure and a bunch of new features (including these 57 closed items) so we need to re-test almost everything including all flight modes, all mission commands and all the new features. Marco and I will be maintaining (and adding to) this testing list. Issues reported will first be checked by Jonathan, Marco and I and then confirmed bugs/issues will be put on the github issues list (and then hopefully fixed).
Thanks especially to the beta testers who put their copters at risk testing each release. Enjoy!
Changes from 3.2-rc13
1) Safety Features:
a) fail to arm if second gyro calibration fails (can be disabled with ARMING_CHECK)
2) Bug fixes:
a) DCM-check to require one continuous second of bad heading before triggering LAND
b) I2C bug that could lead to Pixhawk freezing up if I2C bus is noisy
c) reset DCM and EKF gyro bias estimates after gyro calibration (DCM heading could drift after takeoff due to sudden change in gyro values)
d) use primary GPS for LED status (instead of always using first GPS)

Hopefully it will get added to the Wiki before the official release as there is no way of knowing that from this documentation http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/mission-command-list/#Do-Set-ROI
I do prefer the new way on 3.2 where it holds the ROI thru all waypoints once it starts, way better than having to put it in every waypoint, but I still think something like a Do-Cancel-ROI would be more intuitive than setting all 0s for canceling it.
Thanks Fabian for the info, Ill try it out.
just cant stop watching his amazing videos
here is gimbal view , BLG at work...

Yes Christian,Input polarity..King Warthox is doing it for some time.
I wont fly like that any time soon,also no props for that....
ON THE TOP there is only one.....
wARTHOX INVERTED..
Randy,
Today, I had test 3.2-rc2 with Pixhawk. I saw have bug is used Guided mode when click Fly to here Alt. It have yaw rotate to heading 90 Degree (West). And i have flip when atuto take off when used auto. But, I will test auto without auto take off again.
@Christian, thanx for updating about BLHeli firmware. The ESCs i have are "sunrise" 20A brand from Himodel and the label on the ESCs says that they are loaded with BLHeli multicopter firmware. can u pls tell what is the difference between the preloaded firmware and the new one that needs to be installed. is it essential to replace the preloaded version with the one on the net. i want to move very cautiously after this bad crash :-)

you can expect answers from 3DR experts who don't like to answer here
FIRST OF ALL BE SURE IT IS ECS ISSUE....
I gave you all instructions for sunsky20A few posts back....
problem is we don't know what version of firmware you have factory loaded.Is it for multi or heli?Number?
Older firmware have a few bugs and also missing few possibilities you can adjust...
I dont know is there way for you to connect to ESC and get to the settings like on above picture and change parameters according to your needs without soldering to program pads....
I loaded AC3.2-rc2 to my other quad with APM 2.5.2. The stabilize mode flight is very steady and smooth. However, when switching to Alt Hold, the copter remains steady without stick input but becomes jumpy when i gave throttle input...as if the throttle is pulsating. I don't know if this issue is related to yours.

Willy,
These logs looks like they're from AC3.1.4. If you have the AC3.2-rc2 logs around I can have another look.
Hi Randy,
I reloaded the AC 3.1.4 so that i can use the CLI to download the logs for AC3.2-rc2. I can't download the logs of AC3.2-rc2 using the Mavlink since, it keeps on giving this message... "Time Out - get log". Thanks and regards.
Spline test with ROI went well.
