Problem with Ardupilot 2.5

Posted by Ryan Maltoe on December 3, 2013 at 7:18am

I'm trying to build a Octocopter with the Ardupilot 2.5.

The motors spin in calibration mode, both auto and manual types. Afterward nothing happens. I'm in fly mode and there is no response. I put the throttle to the right and move the throttle up and no response. Moving any of the sticks does nothing. Only the esc's are constant beeping and the red light is flashing. 

What could be the problem?

    Sounds to me like throttle stick needs reversing.

    I did both types, at first the automatic one, but it didn't work so tried also the manual one.
    But both types didn't work..

    The esc's are wired to the PDB.

    Your lacking detail for your setup which makes it hard to give any sort of detailed response.

    Beeping ESC usually means that they are not receiving a valid signal.

    What brand of ESC?

    How have you got them wired up?

    Are you using a BEC to power the outputs or one of the ESC BEC's?

    How are you powering the APM?

    Have you done all the APM calibrations (another reason it won't arm)?

    Have you tried arming while connected to Mission Planner (to see any failure message on the Flight Data screen)?
