issue:
Calbrating the acelerometers in PIXHAWK... stepping through laying it on it's side etc.... MP has started skipping steps so cal fails
I've reloaded MP as well as firmware in the Pixhawk. this worked when I first arted messing with MP and this quad. An update to 3.32 and attempts at 3.3 to get Lidar working I notice this accel cal issue.
pres any key at level ok
press a key on left side...works most times...sometimes it jumps right to lay on right side
press a on right side...will most time jump right past nose up and go to nose down (or versa-visa)
so ops are getting skipped, and of course cal then fails so I can't arm.
Repeated reboots, checking param tables, and playing with filter setting has not resolved this issue.
any ideas anyone? why would it skip.? I've been very careful testing.... pausing to make sure no virations etc...even arm (push button on) to stop possible motor esc pulse/tones from creating a vib while trying to cal.
...getting frustrated here (which isn't normal for me as I've been programming robotics for nearly 25+ years now)

update.....tried the cal using a different 'puter.... same issues.....
Cal level OK put on left... then jumps to lay on right before ever hitting a key (all most instantly after the left prompt)
Nose up jumps to nose down, back works fine then cal fails.
EVERY feature works fine except this cal procedure
I loaded rover firmware in an attempt to totally wipe out any code issues.... Reloaded latest and greatest and the cal procedure is the same.
...scratching head here as this worked before.
So..next is to back pedal revisions.... but to which one? What is the latest 3.3 or 3.2 that works right?
