I have cleared my EEPROM and am trying to do a clean update to ArduCopter 3.1.2 for my Quad. I am using the wizard to go through the initial setup process. Everytime I get to the Accel Calibration, I start to have problems...
Whenever I am asked to put the APM on its left side, as I start to turn the quad, I get a "Bad Gyro Health" announcement through Mission Planner (using latest and greatest MP build). I am able to complete the Accel Calibration, but when I get to the pre-arm check step, I am unable to arm due to the Bad Gyro Health.
After I complete the wizard, I have tried to re-do the accel calibration individually but I get the same response. When I am prompted to put APM on left side, I get the bad gyro health message immediately.
Also, when I look at the HUD display it has a warning saying "Bad Gyro Health".
I have an APM 2.5 w/ internal compass and external GPS.
Any help on what could be causing this problem and possible solutions would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Chirag.

Well, 3Dr have told me my unit (bought/replaced in July last year) is out of warranty. So no replacement there. Looks like I need to replace it, but 3DR's shipping is just ridiculous, so looks like I'll be going with a clone.
Interesting side note: In operation right now, I have 5 APMs. 3 are from 3DR, 2 are clones. The clones are the only ones working...

same problem, with a brand new one from HK,,,, but I am not sure it was so new when I received it. The fact is that setup is OK but when I move the board 4 o 5 times I loose the horizontal line, It stay like 45 degrees on the side. I decide not to buy APM to HK... too fast to loose the drone....

Anyone else come across this problem? Did they fix it by relaxing the regulator?
