I am attempting to get connect my spektrum dx6i to my arucopter. When I try and calabrate all the props at once nothing happens, but when I go through all the props individually and calibrate them, the work for the duration that they are connected directly to the remote. I cannot get all of the working at the same time, and am getting confused.
Here are pics of my setup:

what esc's do you have.
here is the Wiki page if it might help.

looking at the pic again the power is not a prob but the wiring order from the receiver might be.
Do not connect the PDB power to the inputs but to the outputs. Plus you should avoid powering your APM from PDB. Power fro mPDB is just good to power servos. Get the power module from 3DR to power your APM. It has nothing to do with your problem but it will make you avoid later other problems.
why are you taking power off of one of the inputs. that doesn't seem right. I would check that.
