thank James for your replies.

We did actually do those things you suggested.

The problem is that we can get into mission planner, calibrate the tx, we get good measures from the gyros en (outside) we get gps fix, but when we hit the throttle the engines dont react. when we put power to the engines, via esc, they turn however.

So the problem i think is in the board. Do we need to instal a code from arduino or something? We are really stuck!!!

James, thanks you for the idea, we have reversed the thottle, no response.

I'm afriad the probllem is in the outputs of the ardupilot board. in mission planner we see no results in outputs.

We haves esc's with brown, red and orange cables and have connected the orange cables to the output of apm 2.5 as this is what we have seen lots of people do online.

The A,B,C LED's on the board don't all burn. A flashes, B does nothing, C flashes and turns solid.

TX and RX LED's are flashing very rapidly all the time.

 

So calibrating is the problem? ( as B doesn't flash or go solid) How to solve?????
