I recently updated my 9x to er9x. Ever since doing so I am unable to arm my copter. I've run the radio calibration and it's picking up all my inputs just fine. Everything on the radio end seems to work fine with my planes, but it won't arm the copter. Does anyone know why this might be?When I hold ch4 max right, I get a pwm value of 1966I'm using MP ver 1.1.77AC2.4.1

Finally got around to messing with my copter and solved all my problems. I reloaded the f/w and recalibrated the radio. As soon as I finished this I was able to arm and fly my copter.
Not sure what was going on before, but glad its fixed. Thanks for all the help.
Here's a quick video. Sorry for the link and quality, I'm doing this from my iPad.
As you can see, I can arm the APM, but the ESCs are not responding. I can calibrate them correctly and spin up the motors using the method here: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_ESC
It worked prior to me updating the firmware. I was led to updating the firmware after I flashed er9x and was not able to arm the APM. At this point the only thing that does not seem to work correctly, and is new, is the APM firmware.
I can arm it now, but since I'm upgraded to the newest firmware, the ESCs continually beep. I've calibrated correctly. But as soon as I finish the calibration and unplug/plug in the battery to try a flight, they just beep non stop.

Hello,
I had the same problem with the new APM2.
Just try to change or reverse the remote inputs until it works.

I have seen a fix for this problem before... cant remember where! may have been on the er9x wiki page. It is a common problem tho.
Tried trimming down the throttle...no dice. Not sure where to go from here. May try to reload the firmware and see what that gets me.
Have you tried trimming the throttle down a little?
