After Manual ESC Calibration, motors won't run

Got a brand new, factory built, (and tested?) Arducopter.

 I'm a seasoned RC flyer, I've set up the drone in the Mission planner, Uploaded 2.9.1 Quad firmware, Radio calibration is correct.

Couldn't get the Automatic ESC Calibration, ESC's would beep continuously.

I manually calibrated each ESC with my RX and they worked, all motors ran, reconnected the signal wires to my Rx, powered up TX and Arducopter, and ESC's beep properly, but, no motors turning.

I checked "Motors" in the CLI, and the test runs successfully.

APM Amber light blinks; shouldn't it be solid? 

On LiPoly connection, the APM LEDS light in the following order:

Blue and red simultaneously.

Blue and red alternately,

Red only blinking,

Then blue solid with Red blinking.

Please help?

Thanks,

DS

  • Sounds like the drone needs to be armed. If you cannot arm the motors you may need to recalibrate your radio. Also, make sure your flight mode switch is in stabilise.
