Hello everybody,I'm working in my first quad and i a little desperate because i can't make it fly.

Hello everyone. I'm having some troubles concerning the quadcopter assembly. In this phase, i am testing the system WITHOUT the Arduino. Firstly, i started testing each motor individualy and everything went ok. Then, i tried to use the PDB and this is where i have my problem. Nothing happens, no noise from the ESC's. I am connecting the ESC's to the RC receiver and the battery to the power input in PDB but no signal. I guess that everything is well soldered. Thank you a lot!See More
