"My apologies if it seems I am insinuating it is something you did intentionally - that is not the case.  I agree that this is most likely a hardware issue, and apparently it is not affecting official hardware (or at least as much).  However if a…"

"Not sure about the baro - but this falls in line with my theory that this is affecting clones/third party boards only."

"Is yours an official 3DR pixhawk?  Also, are you in a warm climate?"

"I've returned my pixhawk to the person I bought it from - turns out it was a clone.  Even had the 3dr logo on it and everything!  Turns out if the price is too good to be true, it probably is.  Fighting to get a refund now, good thing I used paypal.…"

"That's definitely a possibility - but did you have this problem prior to 3.2?

I guess something we should test is going back to 3.1.5 and testing in the same conditions, and then comparing the logs to see if IMU2 is exhibiting the same behavior.…"

"WOW that looks very similar to my issue. I'm wondering if temperature change really is the issue.  I'm in the US on the east coast (WV to be exact) and it's rather chilly outside this time of year.

Still, I've seen similar behavior in my office,…"

"@Randy - have you had a chance to look into the logs I have sent you in regards to the accel issue?  I'm about to send my pixhawk back, but was hoping it wasn't a hardware issue.  I'd hate to wait for a new one to arrive only to find out there's…"

"Do you have the log that shows the constant values on IMU2?  That sounds exactly like what I am experiencing."

A few users, myself included, appear to be having issues calibrating accels and/or arming when using APM 3.2 on a Pixhawk.  I see posts here and there, but thought it may be best if those having the issue could all 'check in' to one post so that the…

"that's very similar to what I am seeing, except when I reviewed the logs of my last attempt the IMU2 values were pretty much flat-lined at around -80.

That was after a successful 8+ minute flight.  Got the BAD ACCEL HEALTH error after I swapped…"
