"Choppy is right. Try connecting a servo to different channel and or notice them on Radio calibration page on Configuration page of APM. If you have a wrong channel hooked up, you will definitely notice it. Also remember that arming / disarming…"

"Hi Dan, do the esc's give a warning beep like it was started with the throttle up? I mention this cause that's my problem at the moment.  On the other hand, as you updated your tx, try putting servos on the rx and see if they have the…"

"Sounds like one or more channels got reversed. Try the various other arming possibilities (bottom left, top right, top left) and see if one works. That will tell you which channel got reversed.  Also, needless to say you should go through the…"

Hi,Got a problem that I can't seem to figure out. I have an Turnigy 9x that I upgrade the firmware to er9x and since then I can't seem to arm my quad. I have reloaded Arduocopter 2.8.1 a couple of times, I can connect with the mission planner. I can calibrate the radio with the mission planner. Telemetry is responding when connected to the planner. Since I am pretty new to this I don't have enough background to figure this out. I was able to arm it with the stock firmware before I updated to…See More

HIL with FlightGear problems

I have been trying for quite a while now to get hardware in the loop with FlightGear working. I have followed the directions found here http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/QuadHil. I can get output showing on the simulation page as per the graphic below but I cannot get any response out of FlightGear itself. My quad responds with motors turning like crazy and I do hear them change with changes in input but nothing happens with…See More
