Hi, arducopter 2.5 and walkera 2801

Posted by Thom V on October 4, 2012 at 12:15am

Hi everyone, I'm new on this forum and like to introduce myself.

My name is Thom en i live in holland. I am building a hexacopter with my associate using the ardupilot 2.5.

However we are having some difficulties getting it working. We use the walkera 2801 and they seem not to recognize eachother. the ardupilot keeps flashing the red light, doesnt turn bleu.

Is this a well known problem? or are we doing something completely wrong?

if anyone has any suggestions they are more then welcome to share.

    James, thanks you for the idea, we have reversed the thottle, no response.

    I'm afriad the probllem is in the outputs of the ardupilot board. in mission planner we see no results in outputs.

    We haves esc's with brown, red and orange cables and have connected the orange cables to the output of apm 2.5 as this is what we have seen lots of people do online.

    The A,B,C LED's on the board don't all burn. A flashes, B does nothing, C flashes and turns solid.

    TX and RX LED's are flashing very rapidly all the time.

     

    So calibrating is the problem? ( as B doesn't flash or go solid) How to solve?????
