Re: MultiWii Pro Arming Issue

Yup, config.h has four options that affects the throttle channel and the ESC must be callibrated to those values. You should activate ESC_CALIB_CANNOT_FLY and upload it to you FC, REMOVE THE PROPS, power everything from the main battery and wait one minute or so. Then disable ESC_CALIB_CANNOT_FLY an...

Re: MultiWii Pro Arming Issue

OK now I was able to see it and it seems a rather valid config for the board.
When you say "ESC calibrated" did you use the ESC_CALIB_CANNOT_FLY config.h option ?

Re: MultiWii Pro Arming Issue

Please double check again as it seems a default config.. there is no "The type of multicopter" option selected nor "Combined IMU Boards". I have the same board as you do, you need to uncomment the FFIMUv2 line.

Before going further please post the correct config.h.
