Jake replied to Jake's discussion [Video][Solved] ESC Beeping when holding safety? Can't fly after arming, intermittent ESC error, no apparent rhyme or reason.
"Hi Alessandro! 

I'm not setup to try this at the moment, but I think you need to enable File > "Advanced Mode" . Then you should see the parameters under "Config and Tune" and you can search by parameter name.

Another note to add here, I ended up…"

"[SOLVED]
I was able to get the beeping to stop by setting my RC3_MIN to below 1140. I currently have it set at 1130 and have since adjusted my transmitter to make min throttle around 1100 and max around 1800 using the THR C/V. Still not sure why RC…"

Jake replied to Jake's discussion PixHawk Woes - Max Throttle Not enough power to fly after installing APMCopter 3.2.1, works fine with QGroundControl :(
"Craft stopped flying again (ESCs beeping about throttle above zero). I think I found the solution there so once I try again I'll examine my THR_MAX. 

Is that all you had to change? 

Thanks!"

"Thanks for replying. I'm trying to compare APM / QGC values but I can't find numbers in QGC with the 2.3 version, just ambiguous auto-configured sliders. Will continue investigating on this front.

I have tried calibration but the DJI ESCs I have…"

After upgrading to APM Copter 3.2.1 and doing all the calibration (Radio, compass, accel, flight modes, failsafe) I am unable to fly more than 1 ft off the ground. This is peculiar because I was previously flying with the QGroundControl firmware and…

"I think this issue may be with the APM PixHawk firmware. I tried QGroundControl and installed the firmware there and the beeping went away immediately, no hardware changes. It flys great but I prefer the APM firmware so I'm attempting to investigate…"

"I was able to get the ESCs to make the calibration tones shown in the video but after they seem to calibrate the beeping still persists."

"I don't think DJI E300 ESCs can be calibrated or I can't find any way to calibrate them. Do you know if there's a work around there? I have tried the instructions you link to before but I will try again right now.

More information on the ESCs:…"
