Trouble Arming

Post by MuadDib »

Hello all,

I'm pretty new to all of this stuff and I have a newb question that I hope someone could help me with. I am currently trying to set up my first quad using a Crius SE board and 20A hobbywing skywalker ESCs. I just finished assembling the whole thing the other day, turned the thing on, armed it, and had the motors at least spinning. I then connected each ESC individually to the throttle channel on the Rx and calibrated them individually. Now it won't arm and I am so baffled! I have a 9x with stock firmware (I know, I plan on flashing it with er9x as soon as my smartieparts board gets here). I've been lurking and using my googling skills to try and solve the problem, but so far I can't seem to get it to work! The accelerometer has been calibrated, I've tried adjusting the endpoints on the Tx, tried to adjust the #MINCOMMAND, etc., but it hasn't worked thus far. Admittedly, I don't know if I did it all correctly :lol: but I've at least tried. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

In the gui did you turn your tx on and set all the inputs to 1000 and 2000 ? I have those esc's and in the firmware i set the mincommand to 1120 ! Sounds like maybe your yaw isn't going to 1000 when you push it left but that's strange it armed before you calibrated esc's. Just check your gui tx endpoints in upper right corner of gui like i said and let me know !

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at the GUI, and the throttle goes from ~1000 to ~2000, the yaw goes to 1030 at full left, 1872 full right, and the roll goes between 982 and 1543. I have tried to adjust these through the end points on the Tx, but other than throttle, they don't seem to affect the ranges on the GUI. Am I missing something? Is there another way to adjust these? Thanks for helping me conquer my learning curve :D
