Arming APM 2.5

Posted by ANDRIAMAMPIANINA Feno Sitraka on July 29, 2013 at 8:32am

Hello,

I got an hexacopter ready to fly with an APM2.5. I tried and tried to run it but finally I was unable to do anything with. I went online and saw that I need to arm the APM and then try to do it but nothing happens.

Any suggestion?

Regards,

Sitraka.

Even the "ready to fly" need to be set up completely. The "ready to fly" just means you get all the needed "parts" and the parts have been assembled. Go here http://copter.ardupilot.com/ and do all the steps in the instructions. Then if you still have questions, let us know specifically what you have done and what does not work. Hope that helps

Checking the message HUD display in the Flight Data view. If you are failing the PreArm checks it will warn you. You can also see the messages in Mission Planner console, which you can enable from the HELP page
