motors not arming after I calibrate ESC's

Hi,After many hours of troubleshooting and reading through other posts I have yet to figure out why my motors will not arm and disarm consistently after I calibrate the ESC's.After uploading the firmware using the Mission Planner, I enter set up mode in CLI and then configure the radio while the esc's are doing a fast beep telling me they need to be calibrated. Then I type esc and get prompted to unplug so I unplug the USB and battery, switch to flight mode, turn on TX and throttle up, plug in the battery and after I hear the two beeps I move the throttle down and get one longer beep then my esc's are calibrated. At this point I should be able to unplug the battery and then plug it in again and when I move the throttle down and left or down and right arm and disarm the motors. Problem is after I calibrate the esc's and unplug the battery, when I plug it back in the throttle doesn't work--I can't arm or disarm at all...Note: The weird thing is that sometimes after repeating the same process over and over the motors will arm and disarm perfectly after I followed exactly the same steps.Anyone having similar issues? Insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated.Thank you!McKinnley

  • Did you get it working?

  • I'm having similar issues with my ESCs. I was able to calibrate them once, but now they just keep beeping to indicate a voltage error. What model ESC do you have? I posted my problem here.
