Quad arms and motors start immediately

Post by ts87 »

Hi,

I am using Arduino uno and DRX T-SIX RC. I have GY_86 IMU.
I have calibrated each motor separately and confirmed the rotation of the motors. During calibration the motors stopped at throttle down and run in full speed on throttle up.
When the quad is connected with USB i can see on the GUI the motion of the pitch, yaw, roll and throttle from the RC.
I have not figured out quite yet how the arm process works, but i have to put all switches to position 1 first.
After arming the motors start immediately without warning even if the throttle stick is full down. I am not sure how to correct this as i am quite new in the drone business. I hope someone can advise on the issue.

That is normal!.
See it as a warning that the copter is Armed.(Do not touch it)

To stop the motors from starting when Armed.
#define MOTOR_STOP

It's just a matter of taste how you want it.

So i figured out the arming - TH Hold - 1 and Gyro -1
However the #define MOTOR_STOP did nothing to stop the spin of the motors.
Here is the behavior:
On arming motor 4 and 2 starts spinning.
Motors 1 and 3 start maybe on the half of the throttle.
