Hi, I'm running a mw pro ez 3.0 fc with a devo 10 tx and 1002 rx that has the deviation firmware. I think the tx is set up correctly because I seem to get the stick readings in mwconfig. My problem is getting the thing to arm. It won't arm with the yaw stick. I had it arming with using the aux4 channel but I kept having the motors spin up for no reason. It was a bit bizzare. If I throttled up and then down they would stop. I'm really reluctant to put props on it and test fly it in this unpredictable state. Haven't played with PID settings at all yet.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could proceed from here? My frustrations with this board are climbing.
Trouble with arming
Re: Trouble with arming
If you haven't actually set up your TX endpoints and mid point yourself, then it is not done correctly. Just getting stick readings is not enough. Setting up your TX is the first step in getting ANY MW board to work right.rsbkh wrote:Hi, I'm running a mw pro ez 3.0 fc with a devo 10 tx and 1002 rx that has the deviation firmware.

I hate to sound like a broken record but this is exactly what happens when you have not centered your TX.rsbkh wrote: My problem is getting the thing to arm. It won't arm with the yaw stick.

Go back to this link http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php? ... ners_Guide and read all the sub headings under Beginners Guide. Pay special attention to Basic Code Config, Flight Controller Tuning and Troubleshooting. The very first entry in the Troubleshooting section deals with "Does Not Arm".
The RTFQ Pro3 board is most likely not at fault.
Go back and read other forum posts relating to arming issues in this very topic!!!
Re: Trouble with arming
Ok, thought I had everything working when connected to wingui but then when I tried a test flight I can't get the motors to spin up. Had it all working with both wingui and multiwiiconf. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss.
Re: Trouble with arming
Finally figured it out. tx was sending values that weren't low enough. I have them set between 1000 and 2000 now and it works just fine. Got it flying, now to tune the PIDs. Wish me luck.
