HK Multiwii Pro w/mtk GPS Arming Problem

[iamwally]

Hi folks! Kind of new to this stuff so bear with me! I have run into a bit of a problem with my multiwii pro board running eosbandi 2.3 navi b7. I can arm the board with sticks no problem until I set any aux setting then I cannot get it to arm with sticks or a aux switch setting or anything period. Delete all aux settings and then I can arm and disarm no problem. Write one aux setting and no more arming. Any ideas?

Thanks,

what modes do you select? imho you can't arm with BARO activated. at least i can't
a problem i experienced as well is, that if is WRITE values in multiwiiconf throttle values get distorted. normally when i arm the rotors start to spin and react promptly on throttle input - as it should be. if i press WRITE then something seems to be overwritten, because now arming does NOT start the rotors, and i have to push the throttle to 1500 to make the rotors turn. but maybe this is totally unrelated to your problem. i'm a total noob ...

also a total noob, however I have a similar problem, I resolved this by arming the copter with one of my AUX channels, which works for me, even though I do have to use a precious AUX channel for arming and disarming.... on the plus side, it's a lot easier than the stick method!

I actually prefer arming with a switch, that way my transmitter can display armed/unarmed status and even warn me if I am set to armed when I switch on my transmitter.

Arming with a switch has the problem that you may easily activate it by flipping the switch by accident eg if you do it like me and pick up the copter and take your remote under the arm.

That's what the ONLYARMWHENFLAT option is for. It won't arm if the copter is tilted over 30°.
