APM arming problem

Posted by Harry Ziegler on January 23, 2015 at 9:44am

Hi,

When I arm my APM 2.6, it responds to my controls for only about 5 seconds until the motors start spinning at a low RPM. The motors continue to spin at that speed until I lower the throttle all the way down, then the APM disarms and refuses to arm again.

The strange thing is, when I plug the APM into the computer and connect to Mission Planner, it will arm and disarm perfectly.

These are the components I am using:

APM 2.6 clone (powered by the esc's UBEC)

Q-Brain 4-in-1 esc

Turnigy 9x

Is something wrong with my APM? Am I doing something wrong?

    EDIT: Fixed it! Turns out I needed to completely reset the board. I'm not sure what was the problem was, but it's working fine now.
