Exactly same bug on Featured release 2.8 R3

Had 2 friends test Release 2.8 R3 on their Crius All In One Pro V1 boards and 
they have the exact same issue.

To ensure everything was working i did the following
- Open mission planner 1.2.32
- Connected and all worked(Since the updated version in Mission Planner I was 
unable to use the accelerometer calibration (Found if you click Calibration 
>>>> Arducopter Level) so I did the following
* Click on terminal
* type setup
* type level

It works perfectly on my MultiWii PRO Flight Controller from HK, with 
MegaPirateNG V2.9 r300 and Mission Planner 1.2.48
It didn't work with MPNG 2.8

Yea I also went back to using 2.9 even though it is a Beta that apparently 
disarms in mid air.

I have the same problem. Mission Planner 1.2.64 and MegaPirateNG 2.8r3. I spent 
many hours to figure this out trying several versions of Mission Planner.

My workaround was to do a "single axis" accelerometer calibration or what to 
call it in Mission Planner 1.2.25. This version had a button for a beta 
calibration. This is probably whats been implemented in the newer versions and 
not working for some of us.

I have the HobbyKing MultiWii PRO Flight Controller

Switched to 2.9.1 and MP 1.2.69 and multi axis calibration works fine.

Click on the Source tab above. Check out with Subversion.

Remember this is not released stable code. There might be critical bugs.

Please, do not use 2.9 - it's buggy and not supported anymore.

2.8 and older versions can be calibrated by this procedure:
