"@ThatJoshGuy, I am concerned that your question "or was the hardware check put in place for some other reason?" may be at the heart of the matter.  I hope the check was not coded intentionally, to make certain kinds of boards inoperable.

"@Randy -Yes, we "Pixhawk users having accel calibration/health issues with 3.2" need some love. I went back to AC3.1.5 and am now operational, but continue to hope for a fix for AC3.2.

PS: Thanks for getting 3.1.5 up on MP."

"I'm encouraged to see others are having the same problem with calibrating Accelerometers using AC 3.2....it's somewhat comforting to not be the only one. I continue to try the various solutions purposed but to no avail. I hope they get AC 3.1.5 back…"

I have been running  AC 3.1.5 for some time with no problems. Today I updated to the new AC 3.2, which resulted in accelerometers not calibrating. At one point today  I received an error msg: "Failed to Level: AC 22.0.37 + is required". However, I…

"Note: I went back and installed FW 3.1 and Accel Calibration works fine.  I see in the Introduction that "AC3.2 also uses the backup compass and accels" but i'm not sure what that means or even how it affects my situation. What's up?"
