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)

Randy,
Where can i find some info about the new compass calibration process with the globe figure?
i searched and couldnt find anything.
I can't find motor test in MP.
"Individual motor tests (see MP's Initial Setup > Optional Hardware > Motor Test)"
the only option available is "Compass/Motor Calib"
Jay,
It should be there but perhaps it's only the Beta version of the mission planner or maybe only in the "Advanced View". Both those options can be selected by going to Config/Tuning > Planner and check the "Beta Updates" and/or "Advanced View" checkbox.
the CLI still here by the way.
Wow, exciting! So many improvements and new features confirms ArduCopter as an absolutely outstanding firmware, thanks and well done for all the hard work in getting this all implemented and tested!
You guys should be proud.
Where do we find log options in this release?
Barrett,
We've had to remove the CLI because we were running out of flash space. Instead you can download the logs from the MP's Flight Data screen's DataFlash Logs tab.
The CLI's reset (which resets all parameters to their factory values) has been moved to the Config/Tuning > Full Parameter list. Although when I tested it a couple of days ago that wasn't working (it's a mission planner issue).
Is it possible to download the tlogs with APM planner ? How ?
Running out of Flash space already ?? I thought the whole idea with the pixhawk we have tons of headroom for development ?
