Beginner help

Posted by jjviton on June 1, 2014 at 1:28pm

Hi All,

First of all thank you for your support to this new beginner... I´m a bit lost and after reading thousand of documentation I come to this Forum for help.

I got a Aducopter firmware version 3.1.2

I can not down load new version, but it is not a mayor problem today.

I connect the planner and I can calibrate the radio and see in the "fly data screen" that APM is working.

But I can not arm it wiht the radio, so I can not progress to fly. I also deactivate deh parameter "pre-arm-check" but no success.

I check all voltages in the receiver and APM an are correct.

I can on ly see a red led bliking.

Any idea?

thanks

    What version of the APM?
    Do you have a GPS and compass connected?
    Hook up to mission planner (outside, where the GPS can get a fix) and try to arm. It should show an error if you try to arm if there is a problem.

      Hi

      this are some data:

      APM Consejo regulador de vuelo APM2.6 para Multicopter de ArduPilot MEGA 2.6, no compas nor GPS conected

      firmware version arducopter 3.1.2 (I can not upload newest version neither)

      I tried to run the wizard, but the acceleometer test fails, but in fligh data windows I can see the ground line moving when I move the tricopter.

    Did you go through the entire setup wizard?
