"Hugh, did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same exact problem. Tried the i2C port and the side port by the top GPS port and still no joy. I have a M8N GPS module, and the Arducopter with side ports. I've tried with the J2 jumper in…"
"I kind of thought the same, since my number 3 motor did not start to spin when the others did. I'm think it's that ESC since I swapped motors and it seemed to do the same on that arm. I've only been building & flying these for about 1 1/2 years, so…"
"Ok, so I thought that maybe part of my problem was the props. Since I bored out the hubs to 8mm so they fit on the motors, I'm sure they weren't very balanced. Today I put the dji carbon fiber blades on, that are balanced, and put a 3300 mAh 35C…"
"Something else I noticed was that the Pitch lever (Mode 2) is reflected in the opposite direction on MP. When I push the stick up, the green bar moves down and vice-versa. "
"I'm trying to do a "junkyard build" with some old drone parts I had laying around. I have a Flip FPV 400 frame with an APM Pro board. It has DJI style B2212-920KV motor with 1045 blades that's powered by the Velotech Magic30 BEC ESC's. I've been…"
"So it seems that I still have an issue that I can't put a finger on. When plugged in to the computer, the copter flies fine. When unplugged, there seems to be a bit of a delay in my throttle response and then, BANG! It just takes off uncontrolled /…"
"Thanks Bill. I had the Batt_Volt_Pin set wrong in the parameters. After changing that to 13 (for APM) it allowed me to arm. However, when I tried to fly, it was very sporadic with no control over it. Fortunately, after flipping the switch to Acro…"
"Having retired the CX-20, I rebuilt using a FLIPFPV frame, mini APM Pro FC, and Turnigy 9x. I've had a few successful flights prior to upgrading from the Cheerson radio transmitter to the Turnigy. Now that the Turnigy has been connected, the FC…"
"After scanning multiple threads, (and quite frankly just plain luck) I got the wiring in the right configuration (I believe) and discovered it was a setting in MP that would not allow the radio to bind without a GPS lock. Having disabled that, I was…"
"Hey Scott, I'm the new noob on the block and just read your post about how you had the motors connected wrong. Please elaborate on that, as I ran into the same problem. Unfortunately, my problem has increased to the point where I have no…"
"Sorry Kris, too new to this to know exactly what you're talking about. Can you break that down into simple language that this newbie can understand? Here's where I'm at right now.
I've completed the initial set up in Mission Planner about 6 times…"

"Ok, so here's an update. I finally figured out the wiring. However, I'm not getting control from my throttle. It seems to me like the motors are running at about 50% or nothing; they don't seem to be running at full power nor can I adjust their…"
Ok, so I feel about as dumb as a box of rocks when I'm sitting here looking at all these wires. I have recently purchased a Cheerson CX20, that has a Cheerson (Blue Star) Flight Controller. I decided I would purchase an APM Pro mini to upgrade it…
