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)

I continue to have the compass calibration warning even up to rc9. Is this because they are off by more than 45 degrees? If so is there a way to turn off just the compass checks so the rest are working so I can turn checks back on? See log. Thanks!

Sorry to possibly repeat myself. RCMAP_ for the first four channels doesn't behave correctly in -rc9. looks like everything is ok but:
Assuming a JR9XII radio:
Making a radio calibrate is incorrectly mapping channel.
Beware that on take off (stabilize)
Roll channel is offset badly, throttle is not at right values.. etc.. etc..
Would be nice if the RCMAP was working as intended..
Or if impossible, remove it all together.. As it stand it is an almost guaranteed crash on take off..

Hi, How far are we from the stable release of this code? Cheers, Mike
When we stop finding issues!
Ha ha good answer! ;-)

I've ordered a new GPS antenna: http://www.drotek.fr/shop/en/home/512-ublox-neo-m8-gps-hmc5983-comp... (I took this an not csg, because it's come from eu, costs only 1/3 (with tax from csg) and it's better to mount it on a rod - a little bit higher from esc, motors, ...)
Has anybody some experience with this model part? I've read, that I must jumper the voltage to 5V. In main configuration this part comes with 9600 Baud / 1 Hz. Must I change this data? Or could I connect this gps without manual configuration to Pixhawk?
Best regards
I ordered this one but have not been able to find out if it shipped after 5 days of ordering. Marco mentioned this place and that if you mention what controller you use they will send it flashed ready to work with it. Can't wait to get it... if it ever ships :[
