First Time Setup : RC & Beeps

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup the Radio input. I've connected the LiPo to PDB, Installed latest firmware, connected turnigy 9x receiver..

Couple of questions.. 

1. Soon I switch on the power, I get beeps from ESCs an motors rotate slightely in 1 second interval. I hope that is normal operation. Could someone please confirm?

2. I've connected the Turnigy 9X, and started APM Setup. When I move the controls for throttle, yaw, roll, pitch I see, Radio 5, Radio 6, Radio 7 & Radio 8 bars are moving. But not bars corresponding to throttle, yaw, roll, pitch. Aren't they suppose to move? 

Please note that this is the first time I'm setting up/using a RC :)

Thanks in advance.

Japi.

  • Hello Japi,

    1) Yes, this is the normal procedure.

    2) You should rewire your RC Receiver to APM connections and make sure you receive the right information on the right channel. For example, throttle signal should be received on channel 3.

    All the information is here: http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Radio

    Have fun!
